Stani Kulechov: Sustainable Revenue Is the Key to the Future of DeFi
Aave founder, Stani Kulechov, emphasizes that consistent and sustainable revenue is the most crucial indicator for the future of the DeFi sector. Through a post on his X account on Sunday (5/24), he stated that stable revenue is concrete evidence that the DeFi sector can evolve from mere token speculation into a long-term business entity with a solid financial balance sheet.
To realize this goal, Aave's strategy over the next 12 months will focus on expanding and diversifying revenue streams. This tactical step includes increasing margins through optimizing the GHO token and scaling the user base via Aave App as the main distribution layer owned by $AAVE token holders.
Along with that, Kulechov strongly criticizes the market that is always dazzled by large TVL figures as a measure of success. According to him, high TVL is deceptive because it only shows dormant capital, not business activity that generates money. Comparing Aave to traditional bank SoFi, he asserts that the health of a protocol should be assessed based on how much fund turnover and real profit flows are entering, not just by TVL metrics.
