 <li>Aave V4, Aave Network, Cross-Chain Liquidity Layer, and non-EVM L1 deployments are on the pipeline as per the new roadmap.&nbsp;</li>
 <li>The Aave ecosystem holds a $10 billion TVL, ranking as the third-largest in DeFi.</li>
</ul>
DeFi lending protocol Aave announces its plan to release version 4 (V4) by mid-2025, proposing multiple upgrades through the ‘Aave 2030 Roadmap’ on Wednesday.
Through V4, the protocol introduces a new “independent and abstracted” architecture to boost efficiency in managing liquidity, capital, and risks for users. To highlight, a ‘Unified Liquidity Layer’ is being introduced with upgraded features such as isolation pools, new borrow modules—especially for <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/defi-emerges-as-viable-distribution-channel-for-rwas-fathom-co-founder/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">RWAs</a> (real-world assets) and CDPs (Collateralized Debt Positions)—and enhanced integrations with <a href="https://thenewscrypto.com/aave-dao-successfully-launches-gho-stablecoin-on-ethereum-mainnet/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">GHO</a>, Aave’s native stablecoin.&nbsp;
Also, Aave V4 comes up with “fully automated interest rates”, adjusted borrowing costs via “Liquidity Premiums”, reverse auction mechanisms, and other deployments coupled with unveiling a new visual identity.

Notably, the proposal unveils the details of upgrades and events in the pipeline for the first three years, starting from Q2 2024. The firm is seeking a budget of 15 million GHO and 25,000 stkAAVE to fund the first year of its three-year plan.
On X, Aave Labs noted:
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote">
 “Aave 2030 is incrementally gearing towards becoming a chain-agnostic liquidity protocol. With CCIP, Superchains, and V4’s Unified Liquidity Layer, Aave can enable secure infrastructure for cross-chain liquidity.”
