The Aave community is gauging sentiment regarding a proposal to deploy Aave v3 on the Mantle Network (MNT). Temperature checks, as this one is, serve as a preliminary step to assess community sentiment before submitting an Aave Request for Comment (ARC) and subsequent community vote (AIP) for implementation. The proposal, submitted by ACI, highlights the benefits of expanding AAVE's reach into decentralized finance (DeFi) by leveraging the Mantle Network and the wider ByBit ecosystem. Mantle Network, a layer-2 scaling solution for Ethereum, offers increased transaction speed and lower costs. By integrating with Mantle, Aave aims to enhance the user experience and reduce costs for its growing user base. This deployment would mark a significant step for the AAVE community as it seeks to expand into new ecosystems and reach a broader audience within the DeFi space. The community's feedback during this temperature check will play a crucial role in shaping the future of Aave's deployment strategy and its ongoing commitment to innovation and growth.
