State of the protocol 📰

Hello Boardroom. Thanks to support from AGD, @Boardroom_info has integrated Aave into their governance platform 🥳 The new integration allows users to explore key governance metrics, vote or delegate their voting power, and learn about the governance process.

For more performance metrics, Aave's own @A_BertoG drops a weekly breakdown of protocol performance on the governance forum, and Omni Analytics maintains a detailed Dune Dashboard for Aave.

Audit underway. Stani shared that the new version of Aave is currently under audit 👻 💪 For a sneak peak of what the new version will look like, see the Aavengers in the wild 🎙 section for Stani's response when asked about it this week, and check out what @The3D_ had to say about it during the second AGD Community Call

Ecosystem 🧉

(3, 3) 🤝 Aave. Following up the Water cooler 🆒 story from the July 5th Aave News, the Ohmies have arrived! With OIP-13 passing, $1 million DAI from the OlympusDAO treasury is now actively earning interest thanks to Aave. How long until aTokens become the standard for treasury management across DeFi?
