Marc's recent operation of exiting nodes and returning ETH can be considered as embedding "protecting users" into the code. Aave's veteran OGs are making a dignified exit.

ME News reports that Aave core member Marc Zeller has proposed terminating the Aave-Chan Initiative Frontier project. He has long managed Ethereum staking nodes on behalf of the Aave DAO and now plans to withdraw all validators and return ETH to the Aave DAO, aiming to protect wETH depositors and relinquish related income to reduce impact on users. It is said that he is active within the Aave ecosystem, participates in incentive mechanisms, and announced in July that he would be leaving Aave.
