Aave governance proposal pauses three L2 deployments, requiring new chains to guarantee an annual revenue of $2 million.
ChainCatcher News, Aave Governance Delegation Platform Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) submitted a governance proposal on January 29, recommending a suspension of deployments on the three Layer 2 networks zkSync Era, Metis, and Soneium, citing minimal user activity, TVL, and revenue contributed by these networks.
In the proposal, ACI stated, “Over time, it’s clear that only a small number of instances contribute very little user activity, TVL, and revenue, yet service providers and governance participants still need to invest significant effort.” Currently, zkSync’s TVL is approximately $26 million, Soneium around $17 million, and Metis about $9 million.
According to data from DefiLlama, in the past 30 days, Aave on zkSync generated only $714 in revenue, Metis $679, and Soneium just $150. In comparison, during the same period, it generated over $7.7 million on the Ethereum mainnet and nearly $300,000 on Base.
ACI also proposed that any future new chain deployments must ensure at least $2 million in annual revenue for Aave, arguing that protocol liquidity is often underestimated relative to initial and recurring costs. Snapshot voting was initiated on the same day.
