Aave Founder's 2026 Focus: Aave V4, Horizon, and Mobile
Aave founder Stani Kulechov outlines the protocol's 2026 vision, focusing on three core pillars: Aave V4, Horizon, and the Aave App.
Aave V4 will introduce a Hub & Spoke model to unify liquidity across chains, enabling the protocol to scale to trillions in assets. It is a complete architectural overhaul designed to serve as a global financial base.
Horizon, the institutional RWA lending marketplace, aims to bridge traditional finance by allowing tokenized assets like U.S. Treasuries as collateral. It targets expanding to $1B+ in deposits and integrating assets like stocks, ETFs, and real estate.
The Aave App is a mobile-focused product designed to onboard millions of new users by simplifying DeFi interactions. Integrated with Push for seamless fiat on/off ramps, it aims to become a leading savings and financial tech solution.
Aave has achieved significant scale, with $750B in net deposits and $8.85B in annual protocol fees, capturing 59% of the DeFi lending market. The long-term goal is to become the foundational global credit layer for the on-chain economy.
