Huoxun Finance News, December 26th - Aave founder and CEO Stani.eth stated on the X platform that the recent DAO vote has concluded, raising important questions about the relationship between AaveLabs and $AAVE token holders. This was a productive discussion, crucial for the long-term healthy development of Aave. While the process was somewhat chaotic, debate and disagreement are inherent characteristics of decentralized governance. Stani.eth stated, “I am committed to making the economic interests between AaveLabs and $AAVE token holders clearer. Our explanation in this regard is not yet perfect and we will strive to improve it in the future. Furthermore, one point was overlooked in this discussion: the DAO has already generated $140 million in revenue this year, exceeding the total revenue of the past three years, and $AAVE token holders have control over this fund. In the future, we will more clearly explain how the products developed by AaveLabs create value for the DAO and $AAVE token holders.” Regarding the widely discussed issue of his $15 million investment in $AAVE tokens, Stani.eth clarified, “These tokens were not used to vote on the recent proposal, and this was never my intention. This is my life's work, and I support my beliefs with my own funds.” Previously, it was reported that the proposal regarding the ownership of Aave brand assets was rejected, with over 55% voting against it and 41% abstaining.

Huoxun Finance News, December 26th – Nubila announced that its ValidatorNode system has officially launched and is operational on the Monad mainnet. From today, node operators can deploy and run various types of Nubila validator nodes (Cloud, Rainy, Sunny) on the Monad mainnet to participate in the verification and on-chain ownership of real-world environmental data, earning $NB incentives through daily continuous verification activities. As Monad's native data-validation layer, Nubila leverages Monad's high-throughput, low-latency mainnet performance to anchor environmental signals from the physical world (such as weather and environmental data) onto the blockchain, forming a verifiable, auditable, and continuously updated source of real-world data. This verified data can be directly accessed by smart contracts and AI agents, providing a trusted data input foundation for decentralized finance, RWA, automated decision-making systems, and AI-native applications. With the continued expansion of the Monad ecosystem, Nubila's data validation network will become a crucial infrastructure connecting the physical world and on-chain systems.
