Next up at #SmartCon is a presentation from @StaniKulechov from @AaveAave

@AaveAave is a decentralized liquidity protocol

Largest #DeFi protocol in the world

+$20B in peak market size
+$11B in peak TVL
+$200B in total transaction volume

Live on #Ethereum and @0xPolygon

Two-sided marketplace with suppliers and borrowers

Also liquidators to keep the network solvent

Flash loans can be used by liquidators

Aave protocol is owned and governed by the community

Team deployed protocol but anyone can contribute and building/improving the protocol

Any changes needs to be voted on with decentralized governance

Team cannot arbitrarily change the protocol

Aave market has been growing alongside the growth of DeFi

Wide range of assets listed, asset parameters are very conservative

Deployed market on Polygon PoS sidechain with EVM compatibility

Costs are a fraction of the Ethereum Mainnet

Reach to a larger audience when the TX fees are lower

Aave is a multi-chain deployment

Aave will deploy on @avalancheavax, @optimismPBC, @arbitrum, and beyond

Each have their own advantages

Will expand to other networks

Security is important, needs effort in due diligence

EVM compatible chains are easier to deploy on

Cross-chain governance

Need to take into account gas costs, optimistic voting (off-chain and then put the votes on-chain batched)
