=== COMMENTING ON PROPOSAL: ===

While we understand the concerns raised about fairness and adherence to the Incentives Detox, Aave’s delay was due to technical challenges with the GHO and CCIP. Extending the LTIPP program allows Aave to fully utilize the ARB that has already been allocated without requesting additional funds. However, moving forward, clearer contingency plans for delays should be in place to avoid setting a precedent for extensions and to ensure consistent treatment for all protocols. This extension will help Aave continue contributing to Arbitrum’s growth, which is critical for long-term ecosystem success.
