Greetings, Aave community!
Building on the recent V4 Development Update, we are excited to share the launch roadmap. This outline highlights the milestones completed so far and the upcoming steps as Aave V4 progresses through its final stages of review, testing, and deployment. The roadmap reflects the collaborative effort across service providers, security partners, and the broader community, ensuring V4 advances with both rigor and transparency.
Aave V4 Launch Roadmap
Launch is targeted for Q4 this year, positioning Aave V4 as one of the major events in DeFi in 2025 and a defining moment for the DAO and its Service Providers.
This sequence reflects the multi-track security program already underway, including formal verification, layered manual audits, and independent researcher reviews. Parallel efforts on the new Aave Interface will accompany the testnet launch, giving the community and service providers the ability to trial V4 workflows in advance of production.
The final stages will mark a pivotal milestone for the DAO and its service providers, bringing to market a more modular, efficient, and resilient architecture that expands the design space for future innovation.
Aave V4 Go To Market Strategy
The Go To Market (GTM) strategy will be coordinated privately, with growth service providers such as @TokenLogic and @ACI engaged to drive adoption, plan migrations, and secure strong visibility for the V4 launch. This effort focuses not only on delivering a successful launch, but also on fostering rapid growth and a smooth migration from V3, while maintaining a stable post-launch period with safeguards, similar to the training‑wheels framework that guided earlier rollouts.
