The DeFi platform Aave is preparing to integrate with the BNB Chain, StarkNet and Polygon zkEVM networks.<\/p>\n
On 3 April, the project\u2019s community initiated a vote<\/a> on deploying Aave V3 on StarkNet, which is due to conclude on 11 April. At the time of writing, 99.91% supported the idea.<\/p>\n The proposal details a two-stage process for the integration between the networks.<\/p>\n Earlier, AAVE token holders unanimously approved<\/a> deploying the protocol in the recently launched beta version of the Polygon zkEVM<\/a> network. To reduce risk, only three collateral types are recommended \u2014 wETH, wMATIC and USDC<\/a>.<\/p>\n StarkNet and Polygon zkEVM are second-layer<\/a> networks that use zero-knowledge proofs<\/a> to scale Ethereum.<\/p>\n Aave V3 is the third major iteration of the protocol. It introduces new features, including more sophisticated tools and risk-management parameters designed to better protect users and the network itself.<\/p>\n On 4 April, Mark Zeller, the founder of the initiative to expand the protocol, proposed deploying Aave V3 on the BNB Chain, supported by Binance.<\/p>\n “This integration is aimed at strengthening growth and cooperation between the Aave and BNB Chain communities, providing new opportunities for both ecosystems,” notes Zeller.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The initiative will allow using BNB, wBTC, bETH, wETH, USDC and USDT<\/a> as collateral. In addition, Aave will gain access to BNB Chain’s user base and its decentralized finance ecosystem.<\/p>\n Currently, Aave v3 is available on several blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Harmony and Fantom, as well as on the Layer 2 networks Arbitrum<\/a> and Optimism<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n
