The Aave community has successfully elected a delegate for a three-month campaign as part of the Incentivized Delegate Campaign organized by Butter. The election saw a high level of participation, making it one of the most active proposals in the history of Snapshot proposals for Aave.

Phase 2: Delegation Window

In this post, we'll walk you through the three phases of the coming Aave Delegate Campaign and provide clear instructions on how you can make sure your voice is heard and your vote is counted.

Over the past four weeks, the Butter team has been working on setting up a three-month Delegation Campaign at Aave.
