Aave launched the v4 upgrade on Ethereum, aiming to expand DeFi into the real-world credit market
According to CoinDesk, Aave has officially launched the v4 upgrade version on Ethereum after about two years of development, introducing a new architecture that separates the lending markets while sharing liquidity, aiming to expand DeFi from crypto-native lending to real-world assets and institutional use cases.
The v4 version changes the way Aave organizes its markets, allowing different types of lending markets to operate independently while sharing the same liquidity pool, enabling users to conduct lending operations on assets beyond crypto tokens in the future. Aave Labs founder Stani Kulechov stated that lending is based on trust and needs to reflect market conditions. He also pointed out that this upgrade facilitates other teams to develop and expand on top of the protocol.
In terms of capital efficiency, the v4 version can also reinvest idle funds within the system. The upgrade launched with a limited set of markets and conservative parameter settings, with more features to be added gradually following governance resolutions. This launch coincides with governance disputes within the Aave ecosystem regarding decentralization and revenue distribution issues.
