Aave is voting on reducing the annual buyback budget from $50 million to $30 million.
Odaily reported that the Sanpshot page shows Aave is voting on the ARFC proposal to "reduce the annual buyback budget from $50 million to $30 million," with a current support rate of 99.37%.
The proposal states that Aave DAO's lending fee income has dropped about 25% from its peak, with revenue in January 2026 at $7.95 million, lower than January 2025's $13.5 million. Meanwhile, the optimistic estimate for the 2026 operating budget is $190 million, which, compared to the annual income of $142 million in January 2025, will result in a structural deficit. Therefore, adjusting the buyback plan is a necessary step to ensure operational sustainability.
If the ARFC proposal passes, the next step will move to the formal AIP voting stage.
