Aave Labs Unveils Ambitious Five-Year Roadmap for Major Protocol Upgrade
Summary:
Aave Labs, creator of the Aave decentralized finance lending platform, has proposed an extensive upgrade of its protocol as part of a five-year plan. The proposal includes significant enhancements and expansions to benefit the user experience, risk management, and integration of the protocol's native stablecoin, GHO. Currently in the "temperature check" phase, the proposal aims to understand community sentiments before progressing to an on-chain vote. The completion of the entire plan is anticipated by mid-2025. Aave Labs is also seeking a $17 million grant for the initial year of this three-year project.
Aave Labs, the creator of the Aave DeFi lending platform, has introduced a comprehensive plan targeting the expansion and enhancement of the existing protocol as a segment of its half-decade strategic plan. Unveiled on May 1, the platform seeks to understand the sentiments of its community regarding the transformation of its modus operandi into the fourth iteration. The company's propositions extend to significant enhancements and additions to the Aave Network, encompassing cross-chain liquidity provisioning, non-Ethereum EVM level-1 deployments, and a reimagined aesthetic brand image. Aave’s fourth version intends to function on a radically novel architectural framework, featuring a consolidated liquidity platform set to increase the ease of feature integration, including isolation pools, risk modules, and its proprietary stablecoin, GHO.
The proposed layout speculates interest rates that can be modulated in real time according to fluctuating market patterns using information from Chainlink oracles. Also, Liquidity premiums serving to tweak borrowing rates depending on collateral risk levels, alongside smart account and vault systems aimed at streamlining users' position management.
The query also trained its focus on Aave's algorithmic stablecoin GHO which has lagged behind the dominant players such as Tether and USD Coin with its market cap being capped at $49 million. Improvements related to GHO extend to refining the liquidation engine by introducing responsive liquidation bonuses and "soft" liquidations, better GHO integration including earning interest options as well as an emergency redemption mechanism for GHO whenever a depegging scenario crops up as a part of the massive update.
The community's sentiments regarding the proposal are currently gauged during the "temperature check" phase before moving to an on-chain voting process. The proposal encompasses a developmental timeline ranging from the culmination of the research phase in the second quarter of 2024 to a full V4 launch by mid-2025.
To execute the first year of the three-year initiative, Aave Labs seeks a grant amounting to a total of 15 million GHO and 25,000 stkAAVE, which collectively amount to approximately $17 million. Aave currently ranks as the third leading DeFi protocol with a total worth of $10 billion as indicated by DeFiLlama.
At the point of the announcement, the native Aave token was valued at $82.35, having faced a 9% decrease over the course of the past week. It is still 87.6% less than its all-time peak value of $660 that was reached three years ago.
