The Aave V4 roadmap, which is in the advanced research phase, proposes several improvements to Aave’s lending platform, such as improved support for its native GHO stablecoin and lower transaction fees, the protocol said Wednesday in a message on the board forum. The proposal also reveals developers’ plans to automate the calculation of loan protocol interest rates and part of the governance process of the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).
“Aave V4 marks a significant advancement in DeFi, designed to set new boundaries in capital efficiency, risk management and scalability,” said Aave Labs said Wednesday on X.
Aave V4 is scheduled to be released in mid-2025. The rollout of the upgrade is part of a broader initiative called Aave 2030, which aims to drastically change the look of the protocol in equal measure by 2030.
Aave V3, the current iteration of the protocol, was launched two years ago on various networks and went live on the Ethereum mainnet in early 2023.
