[ARFC] Deploy Aave v3 on Tron

[ARFC] Deploy Aave v3 on Tron

Author: ACI

Date: 2025-04-30

Simple Summary:

The current proposal seeks the community’s input on the deployment of Aave V3 on Tron Mainnet, after successful [TEMP CHECK] Deploy Aave v3 on Tron and TEMP CHECK Snapshot.

Background:

Tron is the second ranking EVM blockchain in terms of bridged TVL after Ethereum with circa $73bn of value bridged. Almost $69bn of this is stablecoins. We believe that it is time for Aave to deploy on Tron to access this liquidity and allow Tron users to access Aave to earn yield on their stablecoins and borrow against collateral.

Motivation

Aave has deployed on multiple promising new L1 and L2 EVM networks and is often one of the largest protocols on these networks. Tron stands out as a significant opportunity which Aave has previously overlooked, we believe it is time for that to change. It is time for Aave to deploy on the second largest EVM blockchain and allow Aave users the opportunity to access the $69bn of stablecoins and $73bn of bridged value on Tron. This represents a significant opportunity for Aave to grow TVL, revenue, and access a brand new market from which Aave is conspicuously absent.

Proof of Liquidity (POL) and Deposit Commitments:

The Tron DAO has committed to deposit funds at deployment of the instance to bootstrap liquidity.

More details will be shared shortly, now that ARFC is live.

Specification:

Risk Parameters will be provided by Service Providers and this section will be updated accordingly.
