Summary:
This proposal aims to strengthen Aave DAO’s and AURA DAO’s collaboration by executing an AAVE<>AURA swap via the Aura DAO Treasury. The deal involves swapping $200,000 worth of AURA for AAVE, specifically exchanging 2,965.35 AAVE for 238,544 AURA. Aura will then convert the AAVE into stkAAVE and delegate any voting power to Karpatkey. Aura will also provide another 238,544 AURA on behalf of the Aura Ecosystem fund to enable it to diversify into USDC, which should be provided by the AEF ahead of time. This is part of a larger accumulation strategy from AAVE DAO, which involves them minting ~157k auraBAL, and accumulating over 1m units of AURA.
Background:
Aave DAO has recently voted to approve enhancing its liquidity incentive strategy on Balancer. One of the significant steps in this direction is the proposed swap with the Aura DAO, to better position itself to boost the incentives of their GHO liquidity pools. This move is expected to benefit both communities and foster a stronger partnership. It also involves them purchasing $400k USDC worth of AURA on the market, and minting ~157k auraBAL units to stake on Aura.
