Aave Starts Governance Discussion To Deploy on Upcoming Polygon zkEVM Mainnet

Aave, a decentralized lending protocol, is considering deploying a minimum viable version (MVP) of Aave version 3 on Polygon's upcoming zkEVM Layer 2 network.

The proposal from Aave's integrations lead Marc Zeller is aimed at establishing a strategic Aave presence on the new network early on, after the mainnet beta goes live on March 27. It's currently in the "temperature-check" phase.

To reduce risk, the proposal suggests limiting the onboarding of assets and setting conservative risk parameters. It recommends onboarding only three collateral types: wrapped ETH (WETH) and wrapped MATIC (WMATIC) tokens, as well as USDC stablecoin. It also recommends including only one borrowable asset, the USDC stablecoin.

The proposal says it also aims to lay the groundwork for possibly issuing Aave's GHO stablecoin on the zkEVM, if the governance were to consider this option in the future.

  • Trump team files complaint over Harris inheriting $96 million in Biden campaign funds

    According to reports from foreign media, the Trump campaign team has filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission, claiming that Biden's transfer of $96 million in campaign funds to Harris is illegal. David Warrington, a lawyer for the Trump campaign team, said that this was a "shameless money-grabbing act" and would constitute the largest excessive donation and most serious violation in the history of the Federal Election Law. Shortly after Biden withdrew from the election and appointed Harris as his preferred successor, she took over Biden's campaign committee's bank account. Steve Roberts, a lawyer who represented Republican candidates, said that the argument against the transfer was a "wishful thinking" of his Republican colleagues. The Harris campaign team said that this complaint would not affect its fundraising or spending.
