Founder of the decentralized lending protocol Aave, Stani Kulechov, announced the imminent launch of the first Aave marketplace for liquid staking solution Lido. 🚀

Aave has also introduced a new formal request for comments to gather views on the implementation of the "Lido Aave V3 instance." This involves the Aave DAO collaborating with the Lido Alliance to create a special instance of Aave V3.

Lido is initiating the creation of the Lido Alliance, which aims to stimulate the innovative use of staked ETH and the expansion of its ecosystem. 💡

Aave V3, created under the auspices of the Lido Alliance, will support staked ETH, exclusively integrating wstETH and wETH with E-Mode enabled.

The Aave community recently voted unanimously for an early proposal to deploy its lending protocol on the Ethereum Layer 2 ZKsync network in collaboration with service providers BGDLabs and Catapulta.
