BlockBeats News, December 3rd, the Aave DAO passed a temperature check vote to adjust the V3 multi-chain deployment strategy, planning to shut down instances deployed on zkSync, Metis, and Sony Soneium, and set a clear $2 million annual revenue floor for new deployments. Aave is currently operational on at least 18 blockchains, including numerous Ethereum Layer 2 networks, as well as other Layer 1 networks like Aptos and Sonic. Now, Aave DAO's primary delegation platform ACI seems to be looking to roll back some expansion plans and impose stricter requirements for future deployments. As part of its proposal, ACI also suggests setting a $2 million annual revenue floor for future deployments and introducing a stablecoin "reserv factor" for other smaller revenue generators.

According to forum discussions, ACI's Growth Service Provider (Growth SP) has proposed rolling back Aave instances on zkSync, Metis, and Sony Soneium networks as these instances have been deemed "proven to be misaligned with market demand." The total value locked on these three chains is the lowest compared to other Aave deployments, accounting for only a small fraction of Aave's total revenue. Metis, co-founded by Vitalik Buterin's mother Natalia Ameline, currently has an annualized revenue of just over $3,000. Soneium fares slightly better with an annualized revenue exceeding $50,000. In contrast, Aave's largest deployment on the Ethereum mainnet generates over $142 million in revenue, while Base's revenue is $4.7 million.

AI has become critical infrastructure, and governments and corporations are competing to control it. Centralized development and regulation are entrenching existing power structures. The Web3 community is building a decentralized alternative — distributed compute, token incentives, and community governance — before that window closes.
