Aave V3 Goes Live on Aptos in First Non‑EVM Deployment

The rollout follows a full Move rewrite, pairing Chainlink oracles with Aptos-backed incentives to seed lending.

Overview

  • Aave Labs executed the Aptos launch for the Aave DAO, marking the protocol’s first expansion beyond Ethereum and EVM chains.
  • Initial markets list APT, sUSDe, USDC and USDT, with supply and borrow caps designed to scale as demand grows.
  • The team rebuilt Aave’s core logic, front end and SDK for the Aptos virtual machine to enable native integrations for developers.
  • Security measures included audits by Zellic, Ottersec, Certora and SpearBit/Cantina, a Cantina capture‑the‑flag test and a $500,000 GHO bug bounty.
  • Risk parameters were set with input from Chaos Labs and LlamaRisk as Aave targets Aptos’s stablecoin‑heavy liquidity and future collateral types such as liquid staking tokens.
