A joint proposal from Aave, Kelp, and LayerZero is asking the Arbitrum DAO to release $71 million in frozen ETH as part of a coordinated rsETH recovery effort. The three protocols are pushing for governance approval to unblock assets that have been held up pending a formal onchain vote.
The wrinkle is procedural: Arbitrum's standard Constitutional AIP lifecycle runs roughly 49 days from forum publication to onchain execution — a timeline some delegates have flagged as too slow for a recovery situation where capital is sitting idle.
The outcome will test how well Arbitrum's governance machinery can respond under time pressure, and whether the DAO is willing to expedite or adapt its standard process when significant cross-protocol funds are at stake.
