Aave Co-Founder Stani Announces Horizon Product Launch Amid Community Concerns Over Potential New Token

On March 16th, Aave’s co-founder Stani Kulechov made headlines with the announcement of their latest initiative, the **RWA product Horizon**. While the project aims to innovate, there are whispered concerns regarding the potential introduction of a **Horizon token** among the community. Notably, a significant discussion point is that 15% of any prospective token’s profits would be directed towards the **Aave DAO**.

The community’s response has been one of skepticism, with key figures such as **0xLouisT**, an investment partner at L1D, labeling the creation of a new token as a potential **scam** that could undermine Aave’s intrinsic value. On addressing these concerns, Stani reassured members that the Aave DAO’s prevailing sentiment is against the introduction of additional tokens. He emphasized a commitment to explore **real-world assets (RWAs)** in a manner that honors the integrity of the existing **AAVE token**.
