Curve Founder: DAO Disputes Signal Strength, Not Weakness

Egorov argues that internal disagreement indicates active participation rather than instability in decentralised governance systems.A disputed US$6.3m grant and a later 80% turnout vote illustrate how contention can drive engagement.A separate Aave conflict highlights unresolved tensions around fee flows, IP ownership and legal standing.Michael Egorov, founder of Curve Finance, has argued that disagreement within decentralised autonomous organisations (DAOs) is a sign of health rather than dysfunction.
