Aave token holders have been asked to take part in an Aave Request for Comment (ARC) that would require them to "commit" to Ethereum’s proof-of-stake (PoS) consensus.
The ARC, proposed on Aug. 16, comes in light of Ethereum's upcoming transition to proof-of-stake. It calls for members to select the Ethereum Mainnet running under PoS consensus as the new “canonical” governance system, while also giving power to an authority to shut down any Aave deployments on any alternative Ethereum forks.
