Aave Guardians

The Aave Community Guardian is a group of community-elected individuals or entities who are part of a 6/10 multisig that have certain roles as delegated by the Aave community. Information about the vote for the Guardian can be found here.
Per the Aave Community’s vote, the Guardian is intended to:
  • Protect the Aave Protocol against potential governance takeovers by having the ability to “veto” an AIP if it is deemed malicious.
  • Allow for V3 markets to be upgraded following governance votes on Snapshot while an on-chain cross-chain governance module is implemented.
    • Only the V3 Avalanche Market is currently held by the Guardians as all other markets on now using the cross-chain governance module.
  • Failsafe emergency actor to pause Aave markets.
