DeFi lending platform Aave has recently announced the launch of its highly anticipated V4 protocol overhaul, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of decentralised finance.
On May 1 2024, a governance proposal to get community feedback on upgrading the protocol to its next-generation version 4 was introduced by the DeFi lending platform. The team suggested that the proposal included “major upgrades and expansions to the Aave Network, a cross-chain liquidity layer, non-Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) layer-1 deployments, and a fresh new visual identity.” Aave, known for its innovative lending and borrowing solutions built on the Ether blockchain, has consistently been at the forefront of DeFi innovation since its inception.
With the release of V4, Aave aims to enhance user experience further, improve capital efficiency, and solidify its position as a leader in the DeFi space. The platform would be built on an entirely new architecture and include a Unified Liquidity Layer to enable better integration of features such as isolation pools, risk modules, and its native stablecoin GHO.

According to the proposal, other features are interest rates that can automatically adjust on the fly based on market conditions and the use of Chainlink data oracles. The proposal suggested Liquidity Premiums to adjust borrowing costs based on collateral risk profiles, vaults, and smart accounts for simplified user management of positions.
The launch of Aave V4 carries significant implications for the broader DeFi ecosystem, signalling decentralised finance’s continued maturation and growth.
The proposal suggested that some parts focus on Aave’s algorithmic stablecoin GHO, launched in July 2023. GHO suggested improvements that included the liquidation engine, such as variable liquidation bonuses and soft liquidations, along with better integration of GHO-like options to earn interest. An emergency redemption mechanism for GHO demerging scenarios was proposed as part of the significant upgrade. According to DefiLlama, Aave is the third largest DeFi protocol, with a total value of around $10 billion.
