In August 2025, OKX simplified everything by moving all its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptopolitan.com\/defi-struggling-enter-ecb-regulatory-scope\/\">DeFi<\/a> and settlement activity onto the X Layer. The August upgrade also boosted the network\u2019s speed to a lightning-fast 5,000 transactions per second, and permanently destroyed three-quarters of the circulating OKB supply.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>With the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/web3.okx.com\/learn\/aave-xlayer\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span>Aave deployment<\/span><\/a><span>, OKX has effectively removed the \u201cmulti-hop\u201d friction of decentralized lending. Users no longer need to navigate independent interfaces or bridge assets; instead, they can access Aave\u2019s liquidity on X Layer and trade their yield-bearing aTokens directly on the OKX exchange.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Speaking on the integration, OKX wallet wrote, \u201cFor X Layer, this is a meaningful step forward. A top-tier lending protocol expands what the whole ecosystem can do: more composability for developers building on the chain, more options for users who want their assets to work harder, and deeper liquidity overall.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It added that Aave would be the ideal gateway for DeFi novices. Stani Kulechov, founder of Aave Labs, also remarked, \u201cBy expanding to X Layer, Aave connects its liquidity to a growing ecosystem of users and applications, making it easier to earn, borrow, and build applications on the network.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span>Aave has been dealing with disputes about its governance and its possible structure change<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span>Aave is still in the middle of major talks, as there is increasing friction between those pushing for a purely tokenized financial layer and a minority worried about the growing influence of key contributors. Markets are wondering if Aave can evolve into an inclusive, neutral settlement layer or become a platform where major collaborators make decisions about product design and profit-sharing.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Talks around Aave\u2019s front-end earnings in December 2025 first revealed cracks in alignment, particularly over who should benefit from protocol-generated revenue. Back then, the network had instituted a major upgrade to its main online application, adopting the CoW Protocol for all collateral-related swaps and implementing a separate routing engine from ParaSwap.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Aave DAO at the time had taken a very aggressive position on revenue sovereignty, which only deepened when Aave Labs released a major, ambitious Aave Will Win manifesto in February. The plan called for all Aave-branded revenue to be returned to the DAO to ensure deeper integration between products and the protocol layer. Kulechov declared, \u201cWe\u2019re becoming token-centric\u2026 but we recognize the value comes from both the protocol layer and the product layer.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Later in March, Aave Chain Initiative (ACI) said it would cease operations due to a dispute with Aave Labs over the plan. Critics felt that the model went too far from community management and the power of core contributors.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Currently, Aave has about $47 billion in cumulative deposits and controls about 60% of the DeFi lending market share. According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cryptopolitan.com\/defillama-developer-accuse-artemis-data\/\">DeFiLlama<\/a>, the network also has about <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/defillama.com\/protocol\/aave\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span>$24 billion<\/span><\/a> <span>in total value locked.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"inline-news-ad\" data-rand=\"0.160374\">Get seen where it counts. <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.google.com\/forms\/d\/e\/1FAIpQLSeyS1VgaVJpjBrbUT5n6xYKWVADNgbSagP5cHNuo67yagIJHQ\/viewform?utm_source=cp&amp;utm_medium=web&amp;utm_campaign=reports\" target=\"_blank\">Advertise in Cryptopolitan Research and reach crypto\u2019s sharpest investors and builders.<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aave is now available on X Layer, OKX\u2019s Ethereum-based Layer 2 blockchain.
