[ARFC] Deploy Aave V4 on Avalanche
AI summary
This proposal seeks to deploy Aave V4, a new version of the Aave lending protocol, on the Avalanche blockchain. It outlines the initial setup, including one main liquidity hub and three specialized 'spokes' for different types of assets like Wrapped AVAX, Bitcoin, and stablecoins. The goal is to expand Aave V4's reach to an established network with existing users and liquidity, building on Aave V3's successful operation on Avalanche since 2022.
If passed, Aave V4 will launch on Avalanche, potentially increasing Aave's total value locked and user base. The Avalanche Foundation has committed up to $15 million in incentives to bootstrap this deployment, benefiting Aave and its users through increased activity and liquidity. There are no clear losers, but the success of the new deployment depends on user adoption and market conditions.
