Kulechov’s 2023: In 2022, Aave laid the groundwork for many of its 2023 plans. The development of Lens Protocol has seemingly come at a ripe time, as more issues are being raised over the current state of the internet and the centralization of media. 2023 could also be the year that Aave launches GHO. While there has thus far been no projected release date, it has already undergone an audit from OpenZeppelin. The Aave community will soon be voting to deploy its v3 on Ethereum, which will be another step toward the launch of GHO. Additionally, Aave acquired metaverse development company Sonar at the end of 2022, which could hint at future plans for expanding into the metaverse space.
