Aave moves toward V4 deployment after strong community support
Aave DAO has approved a proposal to launch version V4 on the Ethereum mainnet. The vote passed almost unanimously, with more than 645,000 votes “for” and less than one vote “against.”
There were no abstentions, highlighting a high level of consensus. This marks an important milestone in the protocol’s development following several weeks of internal disagreements. The decision opens the path to the next stage — onchain voting. After that, V4 can be officially deployed and activated. Aave founder Stani Kulechov confirmed the move toward an AIP. Thus, the protocol is entering the final stage of its upgrade.
New architecture reshapes lending markets
Aave V4 introduces a shift to a modular architecture. At the core of the model is the separation of liquidity and risk. So-called “Hubs” aggregate liquidity, while “Spokes” create isolated markets with their own risk parameters.
This enables more precise management of lending products. The structure preserves overall system liquidity while providing flexibility across different assets. This includes assets with varying yields and risk profiles. As a result, it expands the capabilities of DeFi lending.
Protocol prepares for new asset classes
With V4, Aave will be able to support more complex financial instruments. This includes new types of collateral and structured lending markets. Integration of assets with offchain dependencies is also possible.
This makes the protocol more versatile and capable of serving a broader range of users, including institutional participants. The model is designed to improve capital efficiency while maintaining a unified liquidity pool. This remains a key distinction from fragmented DeFi solutions.
Consensus reached after internal DAO crisis
The vote marks a turning point after internal conflict within the ecosystem. In February, BGD Labs — a team that had worked on the protocol for more than four years — left the project. In March, the Aave Chan Initiative, a key governance contributor, also exited.
The disagreements centered on funding and governance issues. Despite this, the DAO managed to consolidate around V4. Near-total support indicates restored confidence. This reduces risks for дальнейшего развития протокола. As a result, Aave is returning to a more stable model of growth and upgrades.
Recently we wrote that a governance dispute is escalating at Aave, the largest DeFi lending protocol, ahead of a $51 million funding vote under the slogan “Aave Will Win.” Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) and its founder Marc Zeller published a detailed audit of Aave Labs’ activities. The report claims that cumulative funding received by Labs has reached approximately $86 million.
