Summary
Aave V4 is officially running on Avalanche, giving the largest DeFi lending protocol its first multi-chain footprint beyond Ethereum. The core innovation here is Aave’s Hub-and-Spoke architecture, a modular system that allows the protocol to spin up specialized lending markets without cramming everything into a single monolithic pool. On Avalanche, those hubs are focused squarely on tokenized real-world assets. Aave V4 first launched on Ethereum mainnet back on March 30, featuring initial Liquidity Hubs.
