Data Insights: Aave v3 On-Chain Stickiness&Smart Contract Integrations Deep Dive

Hey Aave Community, I have completed a 7-page on-chain structural analysis of Aave v3, focusing on supply maturity, holder composition, and DeFi integration depth.

Key observations:

  • ~95.9% of total supply is unlocked
  • Over 191k smart contract addresses vs. ~3.8k EOAs interacting with the token

These indicators suggest a transition away from early-stage token distribution dynamics toward a more infrastructure-embedded usage profile within the broader DeFi stack.

The full 7-page PDF is available for review. I am open to sharing it with DAO delegates, risk contributors, and the grants committee for structured feedback or potential collaboration.

If there is interest, I would also be willing to formalize this work through the ecosystem grants track to support periodic independent on-chain reporting.

Feedback from risk, analytics, and governance contributors is welcome.
