Summary

Proposing the renewal of the Orbit program for recognized delegates, compensating them with GHO and ETH reimbursement of Gas costs , associated with their governance activity during part of Q3 2024 ( From 2024-05-13 to 2024-08-30).

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, Q3 2024, from 2024-05-13 to 2024-08-30.

Gas Rebate:

Initially meant to reimburse gas cost associated with governance voting, the gas rebate has been entirely focused on service provider gas reimbursement since the launch of Aave governance V3, we propose to segregate these payments after this proposal to keep focus and consistency in the Orbit program.

Gas reimbursements from service providers activity are proposed to be managed by Aave Finance service providers in their monthly treasury management update.
