Proposal: Expand the AAVE protocol to Solana, a high-performance Layer-1 blockchain. This would involve launching AAVE’s money markets on Solana, enabling Solana users to lend and borrow assets using AAVE’s platform.
Why Solana?
-
Ultra-High Throughput: Sealevel runtime supports up to 65,000 TPS for seamless lending/borrowing.
-
Rock-Bottom Fees & Finality: Sub-cent costs and sub-second confirmations.
-
New Liquidity Pools: Solana’s DeFi TVL surpassed $12 B in late 2025, with over $10 B in stablecoins available to tap directly.
Core Advantages
-
First-Mover Edge: No major EVM-origin lending protocol on Solana today—capture market share and partnerships early.
-
Modular V3 Design: Anchor-powered, upgradeable modules for rapid feature rollout.
-
Robust Risk Controls: Custom caps, isolation modes & e-Mode per SPL token.
-
Incentive Partnerships: Collaborate on SOL-denominated rewards to accelerate adoption.
-
Security Best Practices: Rust/Anchor framework, formal verification & dedicated audits.
Conclusion
-
Unlock Massive Liquidity: Instantly tap into Solana’s $12 B+ TVL and $10 B+ in stablecoins to supercharge protocol growth.
-
Pioneer on Solana: Position Aave V3 as the go-to lending platform in Solana’s DeFi ecosystem, extending beyond EVM chains into new territory.
-
Maximize Efficiency & Resilience: Leverage Solana’s speed, ultra-low fees, and V3’s modular, secure architecture to deliver capital-efficient markets at scale.
