Aave Is Preparing to Enter the Bitcoin Ecosystem In my opinion, Aave DAO is the most well-run and forward-thinking DAO in all of Web3 and DeFi. When Aave deploys on a new network, it's not just a technical decision—it’s a strategic signal that the ecosystem has been validated for security, economic viability, and long-term growth potential. So far, @aave has not launched on any Bitcoin Layer 2. But that may soon change. Recent Proposal: Aave x BOB Just a few days ago, the BOB team submitted three new proposals on the Aave governance forum, suggesting the addition of: - openUSDT - xSolvBTC - SolvBTC These proposals are still in the early stages—just discussion posts, not formal votes—but they’re a meaningful signal. And to fully appreciate their weight, it’s worth revisiting the background. Aave’s Initial Review of BOB (January 2025) In January 2025, BOB formally applied for Aave deployment. The ecosystem received broad support: - @wintermute_t and @KeyrockTrading, few of the largest Web3 market makers, endorsed the proposal. - @chaos_labs conducted an in-depth economic analysis and recommended onboarding assets like LBTC, tBTC, and WBTC. - @LlamaRisk, a respected risk evaluation group working with major stablecoin-related companies, also gave a green light. Despite this strong support, two key issues held the proposal back: 1. Lack of Chainlink Feed integration 2. Low stablecoin TVL on the BOB network These were seen as critical infrastructure gaps that needed to be addressed before full Aave deployment could proceed. BOB’s Progress Since Then Fast forward to today—and it appears @build_on_bob has taken concrete steps to resolve both concerns: Chainlink Oracle Integration: BOB has been actively deepening its partnership with Chainlink. Their blog and updates suggest that Chainlink feeds are either already integrated or close to being deployed—clearing a major hurdle for Aave compatibility. Stablecoin TVL Expansion: The inclusion of @OpenUSDT (oUSDT) in the latest proposal is especially notable. This is the official stablecoin of Optimism’s Superchain, which BOB is integrating early. As one of the first networks to adopt oUSDT, BOB positions itself as a key player in the Superchain ecosystem—opening the door to rapid growth in stablecoin liquidity. Why BOB Could Be Aave’s First BTC L2 Given its infrastructure improvements and maturing DeFi ecosystem, BOB is a natural candidate to become Aave’s first deployment in the Bitcoin ecosystem. No other BTC L2 currently offers the same combination of: - Robust DeFi primitives - Active protocol integrations - Good TVL and user activity As I said earlier, BOB has the best DeFi ecosystem among BTC L2 at the current moment. If Aave officially deploys on BOB, the implications are massive: 1. Validation of Bitcoin L2s as serious contenders in DeFi 2. A likely wave of capital inflows from LPs and borrowers 3. A signal to other protocols and builders that BTCfi and BTC L2 are ready for adoption This could be the inflection point the BTC eco has been waiting for. Conclusion All signs suggest that Aave on BOB is no longer a matter of "if," but "when." The necessary groundwork is being laid, the proposals are on the table, and the ecosystem is ready. When this goes live, it won’t just be a big win for BOB—it’ll mark a breakthrough moment for the entire BTC L2 and BTCfi movements. Now, we wait. P.S.
