Aave plans to explore sharing off-protocol revenue with token holders, supporting teams in independently building products on top of the protocol.

PANews reported on January 3rd that, in light of recent community governance disagreements, Aave founder Stani Kulecho published a lengthy post on the governance forum, outlining plans to share revenue generated outside the protocol with AAVE token holders. A formal proposal, including specific operational mechanisms, will be released soon. Furthermore, the upcoming proposal will strive to build a framework supporting this long-term vision and provide sufficient safeguards for the DAO and Aave token holders. Kulecho stated, "We believe the most effective path forward is to allow visionary teams to independently build products on top of the permissionless Aave protocol, while the protocol itself generates revenue through increased usage and income." Stani Kulecho emphasized the need for a shared long-term vision to unify the community and avoid short-term disputes and incentive-driven misdirection. The focus is on expanding the protocol to support new asset classes (such as RWA) and new lending models (such as consumer and institutional lending), while serving existing DeFi needs and expanding into larger markets.
