Aave founder Stani Kulechov has recognized Marc Zeller as one of the most active core contributors to the Aave ecosystem over the past seven years. Zeller has been instrumental in incentive mechanism design, protocol development, and DAO evolution through the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI). Kulechov assured that the Aave protocol will continue to operate normally, with existing incentive plans remaining unaffected. Aave Labs will collaborate with other DAO service providers to ensure a smooth transition, while expressing gratitude for Zeller's contributions.
