「Aave to Receive 7% of WLFI Total Token Supply」 Sparks Ongoing Dispute, Both Sides Stick to Their Guns with No Resolution

2025.08.24 11:00:30

August 24th witnessed a disagreement between the Aave official and the WLFI team regarding "Aave will receive 7% of the WLFI total token supply," which triggered a significant price fluctuation of the AAVE token. The timeline of this event is as follows: On December 6th, 2024, the WLFI team proposed "Launching Aave V3 Instance on the Ethereum Mainnet," and it was passed on December 13th. According to the proposal, as a lending ecosystem partner of WLFI, Aave will adopt the same reserve factor mechanism in this Aave v3 instance as the main Aave instance. AaveDAO will receive 20% of the protocol fees generated by the WLFI Aave v3 instance and will receive approximately 7% of the total WLFI token supply for participating in future WLFI governance processes, liquidity mining, and driving the decentralization of the WLFI platform. Last evening at 8:30 PM, Aave founder Stani.eth responded to doubts about "Is the WLFI partnership with AAVE still valid? Are they really building on Aave? There are many different rumors" by stating that the protocol is still valid. He emphasized that "at the current price, the Aave Treasury will receive WLFI worth $2.5 billion, making it one of the biggest winners in this cycle." He called it the art of the deal, and AAVE subsequently surged to touch $385. Last evening at 10:32 PM, a purported member of the WLFI Wallet team, Dylan_0x (@0xDylan_), posted denying the association with the proposal of "Aave receiving 7% of WLFI total token supply," causing AAVE to temporarily drop by more than 5%. Early this morning at 12:13 AM, according to crypto media Wu Shuo, the WLFI team stated that the news of "Aave receiving 7% of the total WLFI token supply" is false and a piece of fake news. Subsequently, Aave founder Stani.eth responded below his tweet that the proposal created by the WLFI team has been voted on and approved by WLFI on the Aave DAO, providing a link to the proposal. BlockBeats Note: This matter currently has no conclusion, and there is no official public channel to verify whether Dylan_0x (@0xDylan_) is a member of the WLFI Wallet team. Aave founder Stani.eth has spoken on behalf of the Aave official, and the WLFI team has not responded through an official channel. BlockBeats will continue to track the progress of this event.

Breaking news from Beating AI Insight: After Dario Amodei, Sam Altman, and Elon Musk successively called for slowing down frontier AI development, Donald Trump has explicitly rejected such appeals. He acknowledged that safety guardrails could be added to AI, but argued that many catastrophic predictions will never come to pass. Trump stated that the U.S. is currently ahead of China in AI and hopes to maintain that lead. "Whoever wins the AI race wins everything," he said. He also criticized that many "negative forces" are hyping things that will never happen.

Doubao Mobile Assistant Officially Launches: GUI Operation App Remains, App Can Reject AI Operations

Beating AI News: Doubao Officially Launches Consumer Version of Its Mobile Assistant. It remains an AI assistant software that operates in collaboration with mobile manufacturers at the system level. The first mass-produced device, nubia NaviX Ultra, was previously announced and is set to launch and go on sale on September 16. The "phone operation" feature, which sparked the most controversy earlier, has not been scrapped and remains in Beta form. Doubao also launched the SAEP (Screen Automation Operation Declaration Protocol), allowing third-party apps to set their own rules on whether the AI can perform screen reading, tapping, and operations within their apps; if an app explicitly refuses, Doubao will not proceed with automated operations. In July, LatePost reported that the new generation of Doubao mobile assistant would no longer directly operate super apps like Alibaba and Tencent via GUI. Only when these apps proactively open MCP services can Doubao call their relevant data and functions. MCP refers to interfaces that apps proactively open for Doubao, while SAEP governs the scope of operations developers allow Doubao to perform when interacting with apps via screen reading and simulated taps. Both mechanisms are now in place simultaneously.

Bonk Guy’s shilling of the Arc Chain Launchpad platform has sparked criticism, with the platform facing accusations of holding rug pull privileges.

Well-known crypto KOL Bonk Guy posted early this morning that he has purchased LONG, the native token of Arc’s main Launchpad, as well as the platform’s top three meme coins, citing short-term trading opportunities on the Arc blockchain. Driven by the news, LONG’s market cap surged 27-fold in a short period. On-chain analytics show that multiple new addresses accumulated LONG at low levels yesterday, and the pump pushed their positions to unrealized gains of hundreds of thousands of US dollars. Additionally, crypto KOL 0xShawn, who previously arbitraged $230,000 by minting BNC4 at off-exchange prices via Four.meme, stated that the long.supply platform holds rug pull privileges and can mint fake USDT at any time. The platform built a cross-chain bridge for Robinhood-chain stock tokens via its own custom cross-chain infrastructure; the stock tokens on the Arc chain are not issued by the official, but by the platform itself. Moreover, the cross-chain bridge’s underlying protocol is not a reliable one like Wormhole or LayerZero (L0). This means: "The project team can shut down the cross-chain bridge at any time and siphon off the locked funds from the Robinhood chain. You are essentially exchanging your real USDT for fake USDT on the Arc chain, similar to the eUSD platform before its launch, which was eventually shut down after an emergency investigation by authorities." BlockBeats reminds users that celebrity shilling may involve conflicts of interest, and users should carefully vet the security of related projects and invest cautiously.
