- Are you one of the top Aave users eligible to explore Brahma Console today? ⬇️👻
- We are pleased to announce our support for 7️⃣ new teams accelerating @lens/gho & @lens/aaveaave
Awarded during September and October, these projects have the potential to make lasting impacts in the Aave ecosystem with their unique solutions and all-star teams
Let's check them out: 👇
**1️⃣ Polynomial Protocol**
@lens/polynomialfinance is a decentralized derivative trading exchange powered by Synthetix on Optimism. Their new product feature will leverage Aave flash loans for funding rate arbitrage, a popular delta-neutral trading strategy.
**2️⃣ Wasabi Protocol**
Wasabi unlocks Aave liquidity for levered token exposure, improved capital efficiency & increased interest.
Buyers use liquidity previously reserved for borrowers to facilitate margin trading with minimal upfront investment, slippage & price impact.
**3️⃣ Alcor Finance**
Alcor Finance is a next-generation options AMM. It’s capital efficient, completely decentralized, viable on Ethereum mainnet, and allows liquidity providers to earn the spread fees from options market-making.
Alcor's liquidity providers will be able to keep funds in Aave to earn additional APY.
**4️⃣ Clique**
As part of an upcoming attestation campaign on Optimism, Clique will increase Aave’s V3 retention rates, cross-pollinate between users of similar protocols, identify power users, and target growth through user recognisability.
**5️⃣ Ambos Finance**
Ambos Finance is on a mission to simplify DeFi lending for both crypto natives and newcomers.
By integrating Aave's lending protocol with their state-of-the-art UX and UI, Aave will become more accessible and user-friendly for all.
**6️⃣ Aeris Protocol**
Aeris Protocol is building under-collateralized loans on top of Aave, targeted towards institutions. Users will gain access to capital-efficient yields while driving borrowing volumes and activity to Aave.
**7️⃣ Flair**
Flair offers reusable indexing primitives to make it easy to receive, transform, store, and access on-chain data from any EVM chain. Developers and protocols will have a new way to analyze and evaluate Aave's historical data across all deployments.
Congratulations to the 7️⃣ awarded teams and we look forward to seeing your progress!
- Get the latest alpha from Aave Grants with Aave News 👻
- We're excited to share the 3️⃣ new Aave grants awarded during June. Let's take a look at what they're building in the Aave ecosystem 👻
**1️⃣ Governance Facilitation for Aave by Boardroom**
Boardroom has contributed a weekly Governance Recap to the Aave DAO since last September. This new grant will see the recaps continue for another 6 months.
**2️⃣ Libree DAO’s Treasury Credit Delegation**
Libree has created a Credit Delegation plugin that can be used by any existing and new Aragon DAO. This plugin allows DAOs to deposit their treasury in AAVE and grant a credit delegation on other DAOs, projects, or users. This will enable DAOs to make their treasury more capital efficient and to execute automatically approved credit delegation proposals.
**3️⃣ Decentralized Analytics for Monitoring GHO’s Health and Stability**
@dapplooker.lens will create comprehensive and customizable dashboards for @gho.lens with deep analytics & multiple parameters. A portion of funds will be used to engage the community on Metrics DAO to create new analytics.
👻👻👻
Explore more details on each grant and updates from some of our previous grantees including Including Unit, @fuji_finance.lens, Senate Labs, Ithil, @projection.lens and the Ladies Network for Economic Freedom in our June Update on the governance forum: https://governance.aave.com/t/agd-renewal-4-recent-work-updates/11585/9?u=0xbilll
- The @aaveaave.lens DAO has successfully launched GHO on the Ethereum Mainnet.
Congrats to the Aave community on this historic moment!
GHO is the manifestation of the ethos of "Internet People" - those who believe in the transformative power of decentralization and the democratization of finance. It's about building a future where everyone can participate with equal access. GHO paves the way for a more transparent, decentralized and efficient financial future.
The beauty lies in its design. Overcollaterized and transparent, it's minted using assets supplied into Aave Protocol V3 as collateral. What sets GHO apart is its commitment to the broader Aave community. The repaid interest on GHO is redirected to the Aave DAO treasury. This supports the sustainability of the protocol and the ongoing development of new features.
GHO's price is pegged to null USD within the Aave Protocol. This design supports stability and utility, helping maintain GHO's peg to the dollar. For those staking AAVE tokens in the Safety Module, a discount on GHO awaits. It's a testament to the belief in rewarding those who contribute to the security and robustness of the Aave ecosystem.
Together, we're not just building a product; we're building a community.
Learn more about GHO here: https://aave.mirror.xyz/t7qcU668gSp9teT_SBhJb9_AVcbv8kpzvd0IpP39lBw

If any of these teams continue working on their project, Aave Grants would love to help you out along the way - along with any other @aaveaave.lens or @gho.lens builders! Learn more and consider applying for a grant on our website: aavegrants.org 👻
Next up, we'll be at ETHGlobal Lisbon with more hackathon prizes, 🔥 Aave merch and a @letsraave.lens to top it all off - we hope to see you there!
- こんにちは @ethglobal.lens Tokyo! 🇯🇵
@aavegrants.lens will have 3 main prizes for GHO and Aave with $10k up for grabs!
🥇 1st $5k
🥈 2nd $3k
🥉 3rd $2k
For those taking part in the hackathon here are some ideas to get those creative chops going! 👻
@gho.lens is designed for internet people.
With that in mind, we'd love to see you build utility around the future of payments on the web.
- You could create an app or plugin to pay with GHO anywhere.
- Imagine using GHO to buy your favorite beverage.
- Create a convenient payment platform with GHO where you can enjoy fast and secure transfers with just a few clicks. Say goodbye to time-consuming payments!
- Build a tool that uses Account Abstraction with GHO to allow users to pay gas fees with GHO, and has rebates. E.g., if the gas used is more than GHO paid, users can claim a rebate or pay it forward.
- Construct new DeFi yield strategies and opportunities for GHO and the entire DeFi community.
- Create a chargeback (direct debit) network for GHO where any user can charge an account with a set amount of GHO. GHO would then be transferred immediately but not unlocked until a set period of time passes. During this time, anyone can dispute the function if they have a balance
This is our first hackathon for GHO and we can't wait to see what you build this week.
Dive into the dev docs for GHO here: https://docs.gho.xyz/developer-docs/overview
We also want to see what devs can do with the power of Aave V3, our most significant upgrade of the Aave Protocol.
- You could build an Aave Forex tool where you can short assets. Enhance the ability of users to access forex liquidity by using one or all of eMode, flash loans, and other DeFi integrations such as @curvefinance.lens.
- Create a ChatGPT-powered risk manager for Aave utilizing OpenAI plugins to create an innovative experience for DeFi users with this leading-edge technology.
- Create a new debt swap feature. Right now you can swap your collateral from one asset to another but imagine if you built a feature for swapping debt from one asset to another.
- Utilize ZK proofs for critical vulnerabilities while not disclosing the vulnerability, i.e. prove there’s a vulnerability to the DAO so they can vote on it informed but not actually say what the vulnerability is.
- Imagine a Health Factor simulator UI component that displays a price slider per each collateral and borrowed asset, so you can simulate prices and see how your Health Factor changes under those conditions. Allowing you to take informed decisions to mitigate liquidation risks.
Dive into Aave V3 Dev docs here: https://docs.aave.com/developers/getting-started/readme
Make sure to catch @jessglover.lens and @miguelmtz.lens on April 14th at 7 PM JST in the Toranomon Hills Forum, 5th Floor | Workshop Room 1, for a GHO Hackathon Workshop.
These are just a few ideas to get you started on your hackathon project.
Reach out to @nader.lens and @jessglover.lens for any questions on the ground in Tokyo.

Liquidation Health Data with Defishy, Starknet Launch, and Staked aTokens - a proposal for a new type of collateral from Aave Companies.
For anyone who is subscribed to Aave Grants on Mirror, including: Spotlight 🔦 | Protocol 📰 | Ecosystem 🧉 | Risk 🔎 | Governance ⚖️ | Events 📆 | Hey Anon 👻
// Spotlight: Defishy 🔦
Defishy’s liquidation dashboard is now live for Aave, including historical data. Users can monitor current liquidation health metrics as well as dig into past positions. This democratizes access to liquidation health data and helps the Aave community to stay informed 🐟 🤝 👻
// Protocol 📰
bgdlabs shared an update on the status of the Aave <> Starknet Phase I - look for the launch soon as the Snapshot vote seems overwhelming in favour at the time of writing. Read more in Governance ⚖️
Aave Companies shared a proposal for a new type of collateral: staked aTokens. This would allow Aave to participate in ve-economies like Balancer and Curve. Read more in Governance ⚖️ including a similar proposal from Llama. The proposal is queued to go live on Snapshot tomorrow.
// Ecosystem 🧉
If you missed the October community call, catch up with a summary on each speaker.
Aave, along with Aavegotchi, have the top voter turn out among active DAOs according to @DeepDAO_io. Nicely done Aave fam!
Read @lemiscate takes on GHO, Lens, what to be bullish on during the next cycle and more in the alpha please newsletter which, as the name suggests, is packed with alpha. Overview from @mike1third if you want the quick version.
Thread from @Stablecoinswtf on GHO including breaking down facilitators and the interest rate.
🚨🤫 Early grant announcement: TuffDAO has received a grant that will primarily go towards a contract audit. Their tVBT contracts are backed by a portfolio of Aave lending pool positions and convert trading volume into money. Look out for more grant announcements coming soon!
// Risk 🔎 - written by Gauntlet
In case you haven’t seen it, check out the AAVE V2 Risk Dashboard and Analytics Dashboard developed by Gauntlet. Gauntlet has also launched the AAVE Arc Risk Dashboard. The Gauntlet team is particularly keen on iterating on this dashboard for the community and would love feedback via this Google Form.
For more details on how Gauntlet manages market risk for AAVE, please see Gauntlet’s Parameter Recommendation Methodology and Gauntlet’s Model Methodology.
Aave V3 Ethereum Deployment:
Details can be found here
Following the community’s decision to deploy a new Aave V3 Ethereum, it is now time for the community to make important choices about how to design V3 ETH’s initial market structure.
Gauntlet provides recommendations in the forum post, and discussions are ongoing.
// Governance ⚖️ - written by Boardroom
/ Proposals
⚡️ Now on Snapshot:
Deploy Aave V3 to zkSync 2.0 Testnet. FranklinDAO and Matter Labs jointly propose deployment of Aave V3 to zkSync 2.0’s testnet, saying that it would support “Aave’s multichain mission and expand cross-chain experiences.” The move could bring new users to Aave, and may increase activity on Aave as well since transaction costs are significantly lower on the rollup. When mainnet deployment becomes possible (and certain other criteria are met), another Snapshot will be posted. Forum discussion can be found here.
Security and Agility of Aave Smart Contracts via Continuous Formal Verification. Certora extends this proposal from a previous one, requesting a year-long commitment from Aave DAO at $2.7m. The additional $400k suggested for fellowships and community grants for security engineers has been pulled from the request. See the full discussion here.
⚡️ Recently on Snapshot
Add Login With Unstoppable as an option to the wallet connect dialog of the Aave app. Unstoppable Domains, which issues human-readable blockchain domains, proposes to add an Unstoppable login to the Aave app — suggesting that this will bring more users to the protocol. Just over 55% voted “Nay.”
🗣 Provide your feedback on these Aave Requests for Comment (ARCs):
[ARC] Add Support for cbETH. This proposal seeks to add cbETH (Coinbase Wrapped Staked ETH) to Aave on Ethereum. It presents cases for deployment on V2 (LTV 0%) or V3 (parameters tbd), with the community to decide via Snapshot.
ARC: Staked ATokens, A New Aave Primitive Exploring Vote-Escrow Economies. @AaveCompanies seeks community feedback on creating this new primitive: Adopting it, “Aave DAO Treasury could generate revenue from staking rewards…[and] allow the Aave DAO Treasury to participate in the veToken economy and attract additional users.”
[ARC] - ERC4626 Strategies as Productive Collateral. This proposal, from @Llamaxyz and @MatthewGraham, is similar (and complementary?) to the one from AaveCompanies above: The proposal involves “the introduction of a new productive collateral type that allows users to earn the rewards of other protocols by depositing into Aave v3 Reserves,” while generating additional revenue for the Aave DAO.
[ARC] - Add support for BADGER on Aave V3. This proposal requests that the BADGER token be onboarded onto Aave V3 Ethereum. Badger DAO is “focused on building the products and infrastructure necessary to accelerate the growth of Bitcoin in Decentralized Finance across multiple blockchains.”
[ARC] - Integrate Coin98 Wallet into the Aave App. A proposal to integrate with this non-custodial wallet, making Aave available on the Coin98 mobile app.
/ In the Forums
Aave <> Starknet Phase 1 project has been completed, says @eboado, who gives a full recap of what has been done.
Envoy proposal alerter. @lbsblockchain has created a tool to track proposals.
Karma forum plugin. Is the community interested in this open source plugin to “streamline delegate activity” and surface governance info?
Discursive health of DAOs. Here’s a brief research survey to complete, about governance.
Interest rate parameters. Gauntlet is preparing to support interest rate parameters, and initiates discussion of curve mechanics in this thread.
GHO development cost. Matthew Graham asks AaveCompanies if they are planning to request retroactive payment for developing GHO — so that a proper analysis of the DAOs runway can be conducted. In future, he asks the team to detail “scope of work, timeline and KPIs” for major projects.
Messari now covers Aave in their Governor product, as announced by @raho.
