April Fools or Fool’s Gold? BGD Labs Bids Aave Adieu

The Chronicles of a Departure Foretold

  • On the fateful day of April 1, 2026, BGD Labs shall vanish like a shadow at noon, leaving Aave DAO to its own devices after four years of toil.
  • The cause? A bureaucratic ballet of governance and collaboration, where Aave Labs pirouetted into the spotlight, leaving BGD Labs to bow out gracefully.
  • Fear not, for BGD shall leave behind a trail of breadcrumbs-documentation and unfinished projects-lest the Aave systems collapse into chaos.

Ah, the theater of DeFi! BGD Labs, once the stalwart companion of Aave, has announced its grand exit, scheduled with the precision of a Swiss clock for April 1, 2026. Four years of camaraderie, of coding, of “crown jewels” like Aave v3, and yet, all good things must come to an end. Or so they say. The team, in a blogpost dripping with the subtlety of a sledgehammer, declared, “We shall depart, leaving you to your own devices, for we are not clowns in this circus any longer.”

The Whys and Wherefores of This Tragic Exit

Born in the halcyon days of early 2022, BGD Labs set out to conquer the DeFi and web3 realms, only to find itself shackled to Aave like a loyal hound to its master. They toiled, they built, they resolved issues that would make lesser mortals weep. Governance systems? Check. Umbrella mechanisms? Check. Chain expansions? Check. And yet, the winds of change began to blow, carrying with them the scent of Aave Labs’ growing dominion.

For you see, Aave Labs, once a mere independent company, has metamorphosed into a central leviathan, steering the ecosystem with the iron fist of Aave v4 and other innovations. BGD Labs, ever the purists, could not abide this new order. “We came to build, not to be governed,” they proclaimed, with all the drama of a Bulgakov protagonist facing the absurdity of existence.

And so, like a character in The Master and Margarita, BGD Labs vanishes into the ether, leaving behind a protocol mature, stable, and future-proof-or so they claim. Will Aave survive this departure? Only time, that great satirist, will tell.
