GHO

The @aave team partnered with Sherlock across the V4 upgrade through three major phases: a multi-phase collaborative audit with Blackthorn, a $365K audit contest, and a bug bounty to protect live code after launch. For one of the biggest architectural shifts in Aave’s history, the margin for missed issues was basically zero. Sherlock was brought in to go deeper on the parts of V4 that were entirely new, especially the Hub-and-Spoke architecture + risk premium system.

DeFi will win.

Aave Labs proposes launching a dedicated Aave V4 bug bounty program on @sherlockdefi. The objective is to add an always-on security reporting channel for Aave V4, with a triage setup designed to reduce spam and route high-severity reports with high urgency.

Aave V4 was built security-first, with layered security controls from early architecture through post-audit fix validation. We’ve published a full transparency report on the Aave V4 security program. Read it below.

While the fintech sector has relentlessly pursued simplicity and intuitive design, DeFi has fallen behind in user experience. Aave App is designed to fix this and onboard the next million users.

Together with @Token_Logic, we reviewed @aave’s @GHO for inclusion in $crvUSD’s PegKeeper basket. GHO combines overcollateralized minting with an on-chain Stability Module (GSM). We assess how this architecture impacts peg behavior, liquidity depth, and Curve PegKeeper exposure 👇

Aave crossed $1 billion deposits on @Mantle_Official.

The @MetaMask Card is live in the United States. Users can spend yield-bearing stablecoins, powered by Aave, across Europe and the U.S.

@aave @ethereum 👻

Aave Horizon is the largest market for RWA-backed loans on @ethereum. It's also the only market for RWAs that provides instant, 24/7 liquidity while respecting issuer compliance requirements.

A full circle moment: @StaniKulechov’s dad saved up for 6 months to buy him a computer. He would have had to handle tons of paperwork, visit banks IRL during weekdays, and wait hours or even days in processing funds. Now he just uses @aave.
