Mantle community discusses 30K ETH loan to support Aave

The Mantle (MNT) community has put forward a governance proposal to provide a strategic loan of up to 30,000 ETH to support the crypto lending protocol Aave (AAVE). The move follows similar proposals from Lido (LDO) to allocate 2,500 ETH, and from both Ether.fi (ETHFI) and Aave founder Stani Kulechov to contribute 5,000 ETH each to a dedicated relief fund. Mantle clarified that its proposal is for a strategic loan rather than unconditional support. Separately, Ethena (ENA) mentioned on X that its own discussions about providing support are underway.
