Key Highlights
- Aave V4 has officially launched on Avalanche, marking its first deployment outside Ethereum.
- The rollout introduces V4’s Hub-and-Spoke architecture with one Core Liquidity Hub and multiple specialized markets.
- Initial supported assets include AVAX, sAVAX, BTC.b, WETH.e, USDC, USDT, and EURC.
Aave has officially deployed Aave V4 on Avalanche, marking the protocol’s first expansion beyond Ethereum under its next-generation lending architecture. The deployment was executed by Aave Labs on behalf of the Aave DAO, bringing V4’s modular infrastructure to Avalanche after years of development.
In an X post on Wednesday, Aave said the upgrade introduces the Hub-and-Spoke architecture, which is designed to let multiple lending markets share liquidity while operating under separate risk frameworks.
The deployment also expands Aave’s presence on Avalanche, where the protocol has been operating since 2021. Avalanche remains one of Aave’s longest-running blockchain integrations.
How the new architecture works
The Avalanche deployment introduces Aave’s new Hub-and-Spoke architecture, which allows multiple lending markets to share a common liquidity pool while maintaining separate risk parameters for each market. The initial deployment includes one Core Liquidity Hub alongside three specialized markets: the Main Market, AVAX Correlated Market, and Forex Market.
At launch, the protocol supports AVAX, sAVAX, BTC.b, and WETH.e, USDC, USDT, and EURC. Aave also confirmed that supply and borrow caps have already been proposed through its governance process. According to the protocol, LlamaRisk conducted the initial risk assessment for the deployment, while Chainlink provides the decentralized oracle infrastructure used for asset pricing.
Built on months of V4 development
The Avalanche launch marks the latest milestone in Aave’s broader V4 rollout.
When unveiling the architecture in June, Aave founder Stani Kulechov said V4 introduces modular lending infrastructure featuring credit lines, segregated liquidity hubs, and customizable lending markets designed to improve capital efficiency while isolating risk across different markets.
Earlier this month, Aave also activated its Global Dollar Hub for the USDG ecosystem, enabling support for USDG-based assets, Pendle collateral, and cross-hub lending. The launch demonstrated how V4’s modular architecture can support multiple independent liquidity hubs within a single ecosystem.
The Avalanche deployment is the first live implementation of that broader multi-hub vision outside Ethereum.
Avalanche expands its institutional DeFi footprint
For Avalanche, the deployment further supports its position as a blockchain focused on institutional finance and tokenized assets.
The network has increasingly attracted infrastructure supporting real-world asset tokenization, stablecoins, and institutional DeFi, making it a logical destination for Aave’s first multi-chain V4 rollout.
Users can now access Aave V4 on Avalanche through the protocol’s official interface, while additional V4 deployments across other blockchain ecosystems are expected as the protocol continues expanding its modular lending framework.
