- Aave V3 launched on Aptos as its first non-EVM market with Chainlink price feeds.
- Initial assets are APT, sUSDe, USDT and USDC with supply and borrow caps set to scale.
Aave, one of the largest decentralised lending protocols, has deployed its V3 market on Aptos in its first expansion beyond EVM networks. The launch introduces lending and borrowing for selected assets on the Move-based blockchain, with production price feeds and a staged approach to risk limits.
Aave V3 deploys first non-EVM market on Aptos with Chainlink feeds
The Aptos release required a full rewrite of Aave’s core logic into the Move language and adjustments to the protocol interface to interact with the Aptos virtual machine. Aave Labs executed the deployment on behalf of the Aave DAO after audits and a public mainnet contest, alongside an active bug bounty funded in GHO.
Chainlink price oracles have been integrated to provide market data, aligning with the oracle design used across Aave’s other networks.
The initial market lists APT, sUSDe, USDT and USDC. Risk managers have set conservative supply and borrow caps that will be raised as on-chain liquidity and utilisation develop.
Chaos Labs and Llama Risk provided parameter analysis for the Aptos market. The DAO retains authority to add further assets once liquidity, oracle coverage and counterparty considerations are met.
Aptos support extends Aave’s multi-chain strategy into a non-EVM environment where addresses, token standards and transaction semantics differ from Ethereum.
To onboard users, the release points to wallets that natively support Aptos and to cross-chain bridges for moving assets. The integration maintains Aave’s permissionless access design and preserves its liquidation and interest rate mechanisms adapted for the Aptos runtime.
Aptos holds about $1.27 billion in stablecoins as new lending venue opens
The Aptos ecosystem has grown into a mid-sized DeFi venue with roughly $1.27 billion in stablecoins and active spot and perpetuals trading volumes. The addition of a large money market concentrates stablecoin demand on the chain and may improve routing depth for lenders and borrowers.
Aave’s listing of USDT and USDC provides immediate dollar-denominated collateral and liability options while sUSDe extends access to externally yield-bearing collateral under defined risk controls.
By aligning caps with observed liquidity and oracle coverage, the DAO seeks to avoid outsized concentration in early days while enabling incremental growth. Over time, risk parameters can be widened through governance as utilisation, liquidity and liquidations data accumulate on Aptos.
The launch marks a technical milestone for Aave’s codebase and opens a route for non-EVM integrations governed by the same on-chain processes used across existing deployments.
At the time of press, Aptos (APT) has declined by -1.05% over the past 24 hours and is trading at $4.39. On Kraken, the 24‑hour range sits between $4.35 and $4.47, with the opening price at $4.44 and the current price at $4.39
