[ARFC] Deploy Aave v3 on Plasma
Author: ACI
Date: 2025-03-15
Simple Summary
This ARFC proposes the deployment of an Aave V3 Instance on Plasma.
Motivation
Plasma is a high-performance, scalable, and secure blockchain purpose-built for stablecoins. Built from the ground up, it delivers zero fees, lightning-fast transactions, and the robust security that stablecoins like USD₮ require.
The network offers a performant location to the deploy the Aave protocol, and the Plasma team are planning to support Aave’s launch on the network.
Specification
Risk Parameters will be provided by Risk Service Providers during the ARFC stage and ARFC will be updated accordingly.
POL and Incentives
Upon confirmation of the Aave deployment on Plasma, the Plasma Foundation will:
- Supply 10M USDT
- Ensure that in any future incentive campaign, Aave is the only lending protocol receiving incentive distributions.
- Integrate and boost adoption of the GHO stablecoin within its ecosystem, targeting real-world and institutional use cases.
- Collaborate with liquidity providers, institutional capital allocators, and partners to expand supply in Aave v3 for BTC and USDT.
- Offer Aave DAO or ACI an opportunity to serve as an early validator, thereby securing the Plasma Bitcoin bridge and participating in consensus.
- Have Aave DAO redistribute any airdrops or incentive distributions from the Plasma ecosystem to protocol users through liquidity mining.
- Entrust ACI, on behalf of Aave DAO, to manage any liquidity mining campaign on a Plasma Aave V3 deployment.
