It is quite clear at this point that the DAO has already reached a consensus that there would be no wide interest in a token, even if it could accelerate the revenue growth of Aave by bootstrapping liquidity. Neither our team is interested in firmly committing to that especially as it’s the least exciting part of the temp check and I am sure there are other ways to figure out how to bootstrap liquidity and revenue streams from centralized businesses and products that are interested in using the Aave stack.
RWAs are extremely important revenue exposure for the Aave DAO and as previously mentioned it should not be overlooked and hence we are going to revise the proposal to accommodate feedback.
We must remember that the Aave DAO is a real DAO and any preliminary discussion and consensus reached must be respected and there is no interest from our team to push anything that the DAO does not feel right.
This is why smart money is on $AAVE.
