Market-listing governance threshold

Aave v3's assessment for RD-F-072 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

New market listings require a full DAO AIP vote on-chain at vote.onaave.com, preceded by ARFC community discussion and optional Snapshot signal vote. This is the highest governance threshold classification. Risk Stewards can adjust parameters of existing markets but cannot list new markets without DAO approval. High-threshold DAO vote = green.
