Aave DAO would retain contract ownership for a proposed Ethereum lending market while assigning day-to-day operational authority to Sentora, according to a governance proposal posted September 28. The plan would create an isolated Aave V4 Hub managed by Sentora through revocable roles, with the DAO maintaining oversight rights including the ability to withdraw those permissions. Under the proposal, Sentora would select collateral types, determine interest rate curves, set liquidation thresholds and choose price oracles for its lending Spokes. Existing Aave risk service providers would lose monitoring responsibilities and would not receive automatic alerts about issues within the isolated market. The proposal limits borrowable assets to RLUSD, PYUSD and OUSD, excluding USDC and USDT, and would place the DAO's Governance Short Executor in an administrative role over the Hub and Spokes while retaining authority over contract upgrades and role grants. Sentora would receive operational permissions rather than contract ownership, and the DAO could revoke those permissions through a separate governance vote. Risk adjustments such as changing collateral factors or tightening caps would be executed by Sentora's operational address after a 48-hour on-chain delay, though the delay does not provide a mechanism to cancel scheduled actions once initiated. The proposal establishes a two-week forum review period for new Hubs or collateral assets, with any objection from an appointed Aave DAO service provider triggering a binding Snapshot vote. If approved, the isolated Hub would operate separately from other Aave markets, with no cross-Hub credit lines to absorb losses. In the event of a liquidation shortfall, the Spoke would report the deficit to its originating Hub, and TokenLogic's V4 Umbrella framework would assign losses to suppliers of the affected asset, though the proposal does not include a deficit backstop or first-loss protection. Revenue from the isolated instance would be split equally between Sentora and the DAO, including earnings from reserve factors and liquidation fees. The proposal remains in community discussion phase and would require a Snapshot vote followed by an on-chain Aave Improvement Proposal for final approval.
