🚀 Aave Labs, the brains behind DeFi lending protocol Aave, has proposed a major upgrade as part of a 5-year roadmap. The proposal includes a new visual identity, a cross-chain liquidity layer, and non-Ethereum Virtual Machine layer-1 deployments. Aave V4 will be built on a new architecture and include a Unified Liquidity Layer for better feature integration. 🎉 Other proposed features include auto-adjusting interest rates and Liquidity Premiums to adjust borrowing costs. The proposal is currently in the "temperature check" phase. Aave Labs is requesting a grant worth around $17 million for the first year of the three-year plan. Aave's native token, AAVE, is currently trading at $82.35. What do you think about Aave's proposed upgrade? Let us know in the comments! 👇
