Dear Aave community,
I’m reaching out to discuss a concrete integration direction we are pursuing involving Aave.
I’m posting on behalf of Grvt, an on-chain perpetuals exchange with approximately $100M in TVL today, and an expectation to reach ~$200M by the end of February.
Grvt is looking to use Aave to generate trustless yield on user deposits held on the exchange, while allowing those same deposits to remain fully usable as margin for perpetual trading. Conceptually, this would resemble a yield aggregator connected to Aave and a perps DEX, where tokenized exchange deposits are supplied to Aave to earn yield and can be rehypothecated internally to support trading activity.
Our focus is on understanding how this type of integration can be implemented in a way that aligns with Aave’s architecture, risk framework, and governance expectations. In particular, we are interested in the constraints and design considerations that would apply when linking lending positions with active trading margin at this scale.
We see Aave as a core protocol for this setup and would like to work closely with the Aave community and contributors to ensure the integration is designed correctly and aligns with the protocol’s long term goals.
Any feedback or guidance on feasibility, risks, or preferred implementation patterns would be highly appreciated.
Thank you for your time and insights.
