Following unanimous support from its community members, V3 was launched on the leading altchain 11 months later. Since V3 went live on Ethereum, its TVL has climbed by over 300%. At press time, this stood at $2.1 billion.
As of 1 January, the TVL was under $1 billion, at $440 million.
The growth in Aave’s TVL in the past six months led it to replace MakerDAO [MKR] as the DeFi protocol with the second largest TVL after Lido Finance [LDO], which remains the top DeFi protocol with a TVL of $14.90 billion.
MakerDAO comes behind Aave with an asset-locked value of $5.31 billion, having dropped by 15% since 10 March when SVB collapsed, and the USDC and DAI stablecoins lost their parity with the U.S. dollar.
