Aave Moves Toward Adding Ethena's USDe to V4 on Avalanche

  • Proposal advanced through risk review via a direct-to-AIP path
  • USDe uses LayerZero OFT architecture with a 24-hour timelock
  • Ethereum-based escrow backing spans a 31-network mesh
  • USDe is not yet live on Aave V4 Avalanche
Why it matters: Approval would broaden Aave's collateral base and deepen ties between Aave, Ethena and Avalanche amid competition for stablecoin liquidity.
