Aave V4 has grown to $1.03B in supplied assets. According to available data, most increases to borrowing caps on the protocol have been executed through multisig rather than through on-chain governance votes, marking a departure from decentralized decision-making for these adjustments.
The distinction between multisig and on-chain governance reflects different operational approaches within Aave. Multisig execution allows a smaller set of authorized signers to approve changes directly, whereas on-chain votes distribute approval across token holders. The reliance on multisig for cap raises suggests the protocol has chosen speed and efficiency over broader stakeholder participation for these particular parameter adjustments.
It remains unclear whether this multisig-heavy approach is permanent or temporary, and whether token holders have formally approved delegating cap-raise authority to the multisig. The implications for protocol decentralization and future governance structure are not specified in available reporting.
