Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave Labs, clarified on Sunday that they will not create a new token for the product Horizon proposed by Aave. The company recently introduced Horizon, aimed at integrating real-world assets into decentralized finance, sparking debate within the Aave community.

The controversial part of the proposal indicated that if a token were to be created, the Aave DAO might receive a 15% allocation and revenue-sharing arrangement. This raised concerns that the new token could dilute the value of existing AAVE tokens and undermine AAVE's focus as the sole governance and utility token. The opposition was so strong that Marc Zeller of the Aave Chan Initiative publicly stated that he would not support the current form of the proposal. Kulechov clarified the situation to X, stating that the Aave DAO is not interested in introducing additional tokens, and developers will respect this consensus. With the token plan canceled, it is currently unclear whether Aave Labs will continue with the deployment of Horizon.
