[Temp Check] Building Horizon’s RWA Product: An Aave Licensed Instance for Institutions

I strongly disagree with introducing a new token for Horizon and diluting the Aave token. Moreover, the proposed revenue-sharing model seems frontloaded to early years when adoption (and thus revenue) will likely be lowest, assuming growth over time. This misaligns incentives and undermines long-term value for the Aave DAO.

If a new token is created, an informal revenue share that declines over time is egregious. The Aave DAO should maintain control of at least 60-70% of the new token and therefore retain ownership of at least 60-70% of revenues in perpetuity.

Did you expect Aave token holders to respond favorably to this proposal or is the plan simply to ram it through governance?
