[ARFC] Orbit Program Renewal - Q1 2025
Author: ACI (Aave Chan Initiative)
Date: 2025-02-27
Summary
Proposing the renewal of the Orbit program for recognized delegates, compensating them with GHO, associated with their governance activity during Q1 2025 ( From 2024-12-14, last date, until 2025-03-31).
Motivation
Orbit recognizes the added value of the Delegates in the decentralization & diversity of the Aave DAO. This compensation allows them to focus on Aave and keep their contribution efforts to our governance. The ACI proposes the extension of Orbit for a new quarter, Q1 2025, from 2024-12-14 to 2025-03-31.
From now on, all renews will be applied strictly by Quarters, and a new cutoff has been set on AIP 224, to apply again previous rules of a minimum of 20k voting power and 85% vote ratio on all Snapshots and AIP to be considered elegible to Orbit.

Additional considerations:
As a reminder, Service Providers will not be considered elegible to Orbit Program.
A new vote rate cutoff will apply, starting next Orbit Renewal, where a minimum of 20k voting power and 85% vote ratio on all Snapshots and AIP will be considered in order to be elegible to Orbit Program, from AIP 224.
Funds are distributed based on 90 days, as seen on budget.
Next Steps
- Gather community feedback on this ARFC.
- If consensus is achieved, escalate this proposal to the ARFC snapshot stage.
- If the ARFC snapshot outcome is YAE, proceed to the AIP stage for implementation and funding allocation in cooperation with Aave Finance service providers via an ad-hoc AIP vote or bundled in one of their treasury management AIPs.
