aka Aave Grants DAO
Aave is a DeFi lending protocol governed by Aave DAO. Ecosystem grants flow through Aave Grants, a community sub-DAO funded through the Aave DAO governance process, which accepts rolling applications with no deadlines and announces new grantees monthly across categories including applications and integrations, code audits, developer tooling, community, events and hackathons, and protocol development; it has awarded more than $4M historically. In April 2026 the DAO additionally approved a $25M funding grant to Aave Labs in a binding governance vote.1,2,3,4
