PANews reported on December 17th that, according to The Block, an Aave DAO participant has questioned whether the relationship between the Aave protocol, the DAO, and Aave Labs needs to be reassessed. User tulipking proposed in a recent governance forum post that the Aave DAO should seize control of Aave Labs' intellectual property (including its released code and trademarks) and company equity by filing a "poison pill" lawsuit. This move aims to replace control of the lending protocol and solidify ownership for all AAVE token holders. This "declaration of sovereignty" marks a further escalation of the ongoing debate among Aave community members regarding how protocol revenue should be distributed and which organization will ultimately control Aave.

In his proposal, tulipking wrote: “This is a defensive ‘poison pill’ designed to protect the DAO from centralized control and ensure that all value flows back to AAVE holders. Aave Labs has effectively privatized assets that should belong to the community by monetizing the Aave brand, frontend, and user base without the DAO’s approval. If Labs is unwilling to voluntarily share revenue and control, then the DAO must take everything back.” In addition to gaining complete control of Aave’s intellectual property, tulipking also proposed to take back “all past revenue generated by Aave Labs from Aave-branded products” and take over the company’s equity, essentially “transforming Aave Labs into a wholly owned subsidiary of the DAO.”

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release

The post A Netflix ‘KPop Demon Hunters’ Short Film Has Been Rated For Release appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. KPop Demon Hunters Netflix Everyone has wondered what may be the next step for KPop Demon Hunters as an IP, given its record-breaking success on Netflix. Now, the answer may be something exactly no one predicted. According to a new filing with the MPA, something called Debut: A KPop Demon Hunters Story has been rated PG by the ratings body. It’s listed alongside some other films, and this is obviously something that has not been publicly announced. A short film could be well, very short, a few minutes, and likely no more than ten. Even that might be pushing it. Using say, Pixar shorts as a reference, most are between 4 and 8 minutes. The original movie is an hour and 36 minutes. The “Debut” in the title indicates some sort of flashback, perhaps to when HUNTR/X first arrived on the scene before they blew up. Previously, director Maggie Kang has commented about how there were more backstory components that were supposed to be in the film that were cut, but hinted those could be explored in a sequel. But perhaps some may be put into a short here. I very much doubt those scenes were fully produced and simply cut, but perhaps they were finished up for this short film here. When would Debut: KPop Demon Hunters theoretically arrive? I’m not sure the other films on the list are much help. Dead of Winter is out in less than two weeks. Mother Mary does not have a release date. Ne Zha 2 came out earlier this year. I’ve only seen news stories saying The Perfect Gamble was supposed to come out in Q1 2025, but I’ve seen no evidence that it actually has.
