[Aave Founder Sparks Controversy Over $10 Million AAVE Token Purchase] Aave founder Stani Kulechov has sparked community controversy after purchasing $10 million worth of AAVE tokens. Critics argue that this move could influence voting on key governance proposals. The controversy centers around a proposal to reclaim control of the protocol's brand assets, which has been accused of entering the voting stage without sufficient discussion.
