Three days from now, a massive safety upgrade goes live on @Aave.

Aave was already the best risk-adjusted venue for your assets and positions. After this upgrade, we’ll be in a league of our own.

What you need to know to stay ahead:

1) aToken staking means you can be slashed and must commit for twenty days, but yields will be high—up to 12 percent on stables and 6 percent on wETH.

2) AAVE distributions will be significantly reduced, paired with ongoing buybacks. The protocol remains deeply token-flow positive.

3) StkGHO, as we know it, is deprecated. No more AAVE rewards and no more lock-up. A streamlined umbrella vault will take the lead with higher yield, and a liquid sGHO deposit vault (with a smaller yield) will launch in a few weeks.

4) Bad debt is slashed automatically with no governance involved. Your deposits stay protected by stakers. Historically, LPs have earned $3 150 in yield for every $1 of bad debt in Aave. There’s still risk staking in the umbrella vault, but I’ll be putting my own money there.

TL;DR: Higher overall yields, fewer AAVE tokens distributed, lower DAO spending, and broader user coverage with a more efficient system.

Just Use Aave.
