Aave teased an upcoming launch of its onchain credit offering on Arc, reposting Arc's message that "capital shouldn't sit still." The announcement signals a coming integration, with few details on timing or mechanics disclosed yet.
Aave has launched an official MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets AI tools and agents interact with the protocol, now live across both Aave V3 and V4. It can be connected to Claude, ChatGPT, or any MCP-compatible tool to read protocol data, manage positions, and prepare transactions, making it the first MCP server to support V4.
Aave's World Savings App is now in early access, and the team is distributing Ghost Passes — holders can skip the waitlist and jump straight in. The rollout continues beyond the first Germany cohort, with Aave now inviting users in Italy to try the lending-and-borrowing app and share feedback. Ghost Passes are being handed out via Aave's X, Instagram, and Telegram channels, while Android availability and the app's full feature set have not yet been detailed.
Aave has activated rewards for USDe in the dedicated Ethena Ecosystem market on the Aave V4 deployment on Ethereum — a push Aave founder Stani Kulechov confirmed as "Aavethena is now live on Aave V4." Users can supply USDe, borrow stablecoins against it, and earn USDe rewards.
Coinbase Tokenized Stocks are now live on Base, and Aave V4 will be the first credit market to support them as collateral once V4 deploys on Base, powering stock-backed loans that let users borrow against the tokenized equities. Availability is limited to eligible geographies outside the U.S.
AAVE Perpetuals are now live on Kalshi, the regulated prediction and derivatives marketplace in the U.S. Aave amplified founder-community confirmations—including from Stani Kulechov and 0xKolten—that trading is open, marking the first Aave perps offering available in America.
LlamaRisk has launched LlamaGuard PT, an automated risk oracle that computes onchain the risk parameters stewards currently set by hand for Pendle PT collateral on Aave, built on Chainlink CRE. Aave confirmed the oracle is now live, with step-size caps, deviation gates, and minimum delays all enforced onchain.
Aave has increased the Aave Savings Rate to 4.50% APR for Savings GHO (sGHO), up from 4.25%. Users can deposit GHO to start earning with no lockup period, no fund rehypothecation, and no fees.
The Levered Callable Capital strategy from 3jane is now live on Aave, letting users stake USDC/USDT deposits to earn +20% USD APY, with a $15M initial cap.
The product compounds a levered version of Aave's stablecoin positions, delivering a callable-capital structure on top of the lending protocol's yields.
Pendle's PT-USDG (Oct 2026) is now accepted as collateral on Aave V3 on XLayer, connecting Pendle's fixed-yield market with lending on the network. Users can borrow against the Pendle Principal Token, which is paired with a USDG-based underlying and matures in Oct 2026, and loop the position in one click via Pendle's PT Looping tool.
Aave V4 launched on Ethereum mainnet with a hub-and-spoke liquidity architecture, deploying three hubs (Core, Plus, Prime) and eleven spokes.
Aave launched GHO, a decentralized stablecoin backed by collateral deposited within the Aave protocol and governed by AAVE holders.
An onchain governance vote disabled the majority of Aave V1 by freezing its reserves, effectively sunsetting the original protocol version while still allowing repayments and withdrawals.
A malicious proposal sought to drain Aave's reserves through a governance vote but was blocked; the community then proposed governance changes in response.
Aave V3 debuted on Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Optimism, Fantom, and Harmony, introducing efficiency mode, isolation mode, and supply/borrow caps.
Aave launched its second protocol version on Ethereum with upgrades including collateral swaps, debt tokenization, flash liquidations, and gas optimizations.
With AIP1 approved, the original LEND token was exchanged into the new AAVE governance token at a 100:1 ratio, and Aave's decentralized onchain governance and staking went live.
The protocol relaunched as Aave (Finnish for 'ghost') with a liquidity-pool lending model, replacing the peer-to-peer ETHLend model.
Aave began in 2017 under the name ETHLend, a peer-to-peer crypto lending project founded by Finnish lawyer Stani Kulechov.
