Development is the goal
One particularly remarkable aspect of Aave’s journey is its unwavering commitment to continuous improvement. While development activity within the ecosystem experienced a decline in recent weeks, Aave’s governance structure remained resolutely active. The protocol diligently worked toward making enhancements to the network.
Notably, a significant proposal was tabled, advocating for the inclusion of Frax Shares (FXS) within Aave’s Ethereum V3 pool. Frax Finance, an entity encompassing a stable protocol issuing assets like Frax and others, introduced FXS as both a governance and utility token.
Aave’s potential incorporation of FXS as collateral assets holds the promise of diversifying the spectrum of assets available to the platform. This presents an opportunity for strategic asset deployment, such as reinforcing the protocol’s growth and stimulating wider adoption.
