Aave, a DeFi lending leader, is looking to expand its reach to other blockchain ecosystems, with a temperature check vote initiated to deploy Aave V3 on Starknet. The proposal seeks to finalize the second phase by fully implementing the Aave protocol on Starknet, a zero-knowledge rollup network. Aave V3 represents the third major iteration of the Aave protocol, introducing new features and optimizations. Aave-Chan Initiative founder Marc Zeller also proposed deploying Aave V3 on BNB Chain to grow Aave's presence and tap into the Binance-associated blockchain's user base. Feedback and input will be gathered from the Aave community before a governance vote is held.
