Aave (AAVE) Unveils Long-Term Vision to Bring Trillions in Assets and Millions of Users via V4, Horizon, and the Aave App

In a recent update, Aave founder Stani.eth outlined a long-term blueprint for the platform, aiming to attract trillions of dollars in on-chain assets and accelerate broad adoption across the blockchain ecosystem.

This year has been the strongest for Aave, with deposits reaching $75 billion and fees totaling $885 million, representing about 52% of DeFi protocol fees and outpacing the combined total of the next five competitors.

Today, the protocol’s scale mirrors the footprint of the top 50 US banks in the global financial center, capturing 59% of the DeFi lending market and 61% of active DeFi loans.

Looking ahead, the roadmap centers on three pillars: Aave V4, Horizon, and Aave App. V4 aims to underpin broad financial activity; Horizon accelerates access to tokenized real-world assets as collateral; and Aave App intends to deliver a seamless fiat-to-DeFi experience.
