Snapshot shows that Aave launched a proposal to open the Frontier test of the staking service, which aims to further decentralize the protocol’s staking risk exposure and actively participate in network security matters. Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) will operate staking nodes and run validator nodes on behalf of Aave DAO, enhancing DAO’s passive income and promoting diversified staking strategies.
The proposal states that from simply acquiring liquid staking tokens (LST) such as stETH and rETH to actively running validator nodes, Frontier represents an important step in further participating in the decentralization and security of the Ethereum network. If the proposal is passed, it will run 32 A small node for testing.
