Aave News: Rewards Down, Heads Down, Resiliency Up 👀

aavenews.substack.com

Welcome to Aave News 👻 A direct injection of the latest and greatest in the Aave ecosystem.

🚨🚨 Handle information with care 🚨🚨

State of the protocol 📰

Matic moves. As usual, @RaphaelSignal gives an awesome rundown of Aave's metrics on Polygon. The thread focuses on the impact the 95% reduction in rewards has had. While TVL and revenue understandably declined, the protocol showed resiliency and even saw an increase in average daily users.

1/ On week 24, daily $MATIC rewards dropped ~95%. This week, our analysis on $AAVE is a bit different, focusing on reward impact. Ultimately, we will use it as a proxy for Polygon network effects. Analysis concentrates on revenues and introduces user metrics for 1st time!

Mainnet moves. Another sign of Aave's resiliency is an increase in monthly borrowing volume in June. This is even more impressive considering the recent decline in prices. Browse more of Token Terminal's metrics for Aave here.

For more performance metrics, Aave's own @A_BertoG drops a weekly breakdown of protocol performance on the governance forum.

Ecosystem 🧉

Gitcoin hackathon. We are stoked to be sponsoring three bounties, worth 15,000 USDC, as a part of Gitcoin Round 10. Read the full challenge statement and make a submission. At the time of Aave News being uploaded today, there is still over 1 week before the hackathon ends!

Challenge description: 1. Integrations like building a lending product on top of Aave 2. Growth such as a credit delegation dashboard or bringing RWA (Real world assets) into Aave/Aave Pro 3. Analytics building an Aave transaction explorer

Governance ⚖️

Aave on Snapshot. Gasless voting is live for Aave governance participants on both Ethereum and Polygon. Shout out to @Monetsupply for making this happen 🥳

It is still unclear how exactly the community will utilize Snapshot, but there are many possibilities outlined in the proposal and more use cases will likely arise over time. To encourage participation and experimentation, the threshold for submitting a proposal is low (one AAVE or the equivalent of your favourite staked variety), so submit a proposal if you have an idea that would benefit the protocol! Who will be the first user to make a non-test proposal!?

New market watch 💹

RAI update. RAI was added to the Aave v2 money market after a vote passed last week. RAI saw high utilization right away and has continued growing, sitting at 87.09% at time of posting.

There have also been attractive lending rates for depositors. Stani noted that 25% of the total RAI supply was in Aave yielding around 20 %. This has grown and is now up to 21.32%.

With Stani's question in mind.. let's take a look at what coin could be next?

In the pipeline. In June, there have been ARC's (Aave Request for Comment) on the governance forum for FEI, BOND, and DPI-ETH Uniswap LP Tokens.

There may also be something brewing with Olympus DAO? 👀

Mainstream coverage. More signs of Aave gaining the attention of trad fi, this time from BTIG, a global financial services firm. This was released as part of their recently announced monthly deep dive into crypto projects. Unfortunately, content beyond the screenshot below is only available for their research clients.
