Aave Secures 60% Market Share with V4 Framework

Aave commands 60% market share in decentralized lending. The DAO proposes ratifying Aave V4 as the new protocol foundation, directing 100% of Aave-branded product revenue—including $10 million annual swap fees—to the DAO treasury. Aave V3 earns $100 million annually; V4 adds monetization via Spokes and a reinvestment module using SOFR rates. Built on 2017’s $16M LEND sale, Aave’s ecosystem grows.
