Sentora split 50% Aave revenue, but suppliers absorb all losses

What happened

Sentora would split 50% of Aave revenue with the DAO, which would keep the contracts. Sentora would set market risk controls, and suppliers have no specified loss cushion in the plan.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

If suppliers absorb all losses while Sentora sets risk controls, lenders face more danger than the revenue split suggests. They could lose their full deposits, while Sentora earns half the fees without a stated cushion.

Analyst inference

This matters for decentralized lending where suppliers provide the money borrowers use. When risk controls sit with one party and losses with another, that mismatch can push suppliers away, reducing available funds and raising borrowing costs.

Analyst inference

What to watch

1. Whether the DAO keeps the contracts as stated, since that determines who owns the lending agreements. Confirmed
2. Whether the plan adds a loss cushion for suppliers, which would decide if losses stop at the supplier level. Proposed
3. Whether Sentora's market risk controls change who bears losses, which affects supplier deposits and lending costs. Analyst inference
