[ARFC] Deploy Aave Protocol on Monad
AI summary
This proposal suggests deploying Aave Protocol's latest version (v3.7) on the Monad Network. Monad is a new blockchain designed for high-speed transactions, which the proposal argues makes it suitable for financial applications. The goal is to establish Aave as a core lending and borrowing platform within the Monad ecosystem, attracting new users and capital.
If passed, Aave will expand its reach to a new blockchain, potentially increasing its user base and the utility of its stablecoin, GHO. The Monad Foundation will provide $15 million in incentives and acquire 10 million GHO, while the Aave DAO will contribute 0.5 million GHO (approximately $500,000) for incentives. This could benefit Aave by growing its ecosystem, but it also involves a significant treasury allocation from Aave DAO.
