[DigitalToday reporter Chi-gyu Hwang] DeFi lending platform Aave has launched its V4 protocol on Ethereum, Cointelegraph reported on March 30.
The deployment followed approval in an onchain governance vote.
Aave stressed that V4 provides infrastructure to "expand onchain markets into real-world credit markets." It cited structured lending, fixed-rate borrowing and tokenized asset-backed credit as key elements.
The deployment followed a Snapshot vote and a binding onchain ballot on an Aave Improvement Proposal (AIP).
Aave said modular design is at the core of V4. By separating shared liquidity from market-specific risks, it allows the use of a common liquidity pool while applying different parameters to each credit market, Cointelegraph reported.
Stani Kulechov (스타니 쿨레초프), founder and CEO of Aave Labs, said the upgrade shifts direction toward liquidity "demand" rather than "supply." "Aave V4 focuses on the demand side so that the liquidity works across real credit markets," he said.
