The AAVE DAO currently earns enough annual profits to pay for operational expenses for at least five years and the founder said that a temperature check will now be conducted to see whether the community is interested in the potential redistribution of transaction-generated fees to stakers and holders of the DeFi token.
The founder had suggested a revamped safety module for fee distribution to stakers in March.
In response to the “fee switch” proposal by Zeller, AAVE price climbed 3% on the day.
AAVE price is $122.07 on Binance, at the time of writing.
