5.0

TVL: $14.6B Visit website

Overview

Aave V3 is the world's largest DeFi lending and borrowing protocol by total value locked, with over $25 billion in TVL. Since launching in 2020, Aave has become the backbone of DeFi lending, supporting 30+ collateral assets across 12+ blockchains including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, Avalanche, and more.

Key Innovations

Aave V3 introduced several industry-first features including isolated markets for riskier assets, efficient mode (e-mode) for correlated assets, and portal liquidity that allows seamless cross-chain borrowing. The protocol also features flash loans — uncollateralized loans that must be repaid within the same transaction.

Risk Management

Aave uses a sophisticated risk framework with Granite (formerly Gauntlet) as its risk provider. Each asset has customized loan-to-value (LTV) ratios, liquidation thresholds, and reserve factors. The Aave DAO can adjust parameters through governance votes to respond to market conditions.
