Aave is a decentralized and non-custodial liquidity protocol that users can use to participate in depositing and borrowing activities. This protocol is considered a reliable name in decentralized finance (DeFi) and has managed to gain a special place for itself.

Protocols define their proposal voting system according to one of the voting patterns (for example Single Choice Voting,Approval Voting and ..... ) and users participate in voting according to that pattern. Usually, the tokens in users' wallets are used to calculate their voting power; Then, using the POAP plugin, voters are given a POAP badge as proof of voting (Proof-of-Vote).

One of the features of Aave is that it allows their owners to influence the progress of the project.But it is not possible for all the holders to vote in the polls, that's why delegats are chosen on their behalf to undertake this task.

voting process is like a transaction and voters must paغ gas to rgister their vote.In this dashboard, we intend to check the fee of governance in the Aave protocol in the last 90 and 180 days.

As mentioned, voting is like transferring currency from one wallet to another wallet and is known as a transaction that causes voters to pay gas.

The cost of voting depends on factors such as the number of registered votes and network congestion at the time of voting. In the last 90 days, 3.4k votes were registered, and the average cost for each vote was 3.57 USD. This number was 2.17 USD for the last 180 days. This shows that the governance cost in Aave protocol has increased.

This can be due to the increase in the price of Ethereum in the past months or the congestion of the network during the registration of votes.

Making it more expensive to influence the process of a project can cuse make voters refuse to participate in the voting, which leads to the deviation of the survey from its correct way.
