Aave V4 is set to launch in Q4 with unified cross-chain liquidity, as Aave cements its position as the market leader in DeFi lending with record-high $41.7 billion TVL.

Summary
  • Aave V4 upgrades introduce the Cross-Chain Liquidity Layer, enabling users to borrow and collateralize across both EVM and non-EVM chains.
  • Aave now holds nearly half of the sector’s total liquidity, with V4 expected to further accelerate growth by unlocking cross-chain capital efficiency and broader liquidity access.

Aave Labs (AAVE) has published the official launch roadmap for Aave V4, outlining completed milestones and upcoming stages as V4 undergoes final review, testing, and deployment, with the launch slated for Q4 this year.

Aave V4 introduces several major upgrades over its predecessor Aave V3. Central to the update is the Cross-Chain Liquidity Layer (CCLL), which aggregates liquidity across multiple blockchains, enabling users to collateralize assets on one chain and seamlessly borrow on another. The layer leverages Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol to facilitate these cross-chain transactions and expands support to both EVM and non-EVM chains, such as Aptos.

Ahead of the full launch, Aave Labs will release public documentation, a testnet with a new user interface, and a public codebase, enabling the community and service providers to trial V4 workflows.

Aave V4: scaling DeFi lending with market leadership

Aave V4 builds on the success of V3 by enhancing scalability, flexibility, and cross-chain functionality while maintaining the protocol’s security and efficiency. By enabling broader liquidity access and a more modular design, V4 positions Aave to capture greater market share in lending and borrowing across multiple chains.

As of September, Aave remains the clear market leader in DeFi lending, with over $41.7 billion TVL—nearly half of the sector’s $84.1 billion TVL—its highest level to date, according to DeFiLlama data.

Relax, Core v30 Won’t Kill Bitcoin

The post Relax, Core v30 Won’t Kill Bitcoin appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Key Takeaways The rhetoric on Crypto Twitter has been heating up between Core and Knots in the OP_RETURN saga, as Bitcoin news takes on a new route. Despite some back and forth, Blockstream CEO Adam Back declared he would run Bitcoin Core v30 Despite believing the upgrade will open the network to more spam, Bitcoin OG Jimmy Song reminds people panicking that Core v30 won’t kill Bitcoin In case you missed it, the Bitcoin community is in full battle mode over Bitcoin Core v30 and the so-called OP_RETURN drama. Just mention “Core v30” in a crowded Discord and watch the fireworks. On one side, you’ve got the Bitcoin Knots faithful grabbing pitchforks and talking about the soul of the network; on the other, the Core devs, who take a more laissez-faire approach. Bitcoin News: What’s Actually Happening in Core vs Knots At the heart of the storm? Bitcoin Core’s decision to vastly expand the OP_RETURN data limit in Bitcoin Core v30. For years, Bitcoin’s OP_RETURN opcode, a line of script that lets users immutably store tiny amounts of data on the blockchain, was capped at 80 bytes. With Core v30, that ceiling is yanked off, allowing payloads up to the full block size (nearly 4MB). Proponents see big wins here: more flexibility for on-chain applications, support for digital notarization, and enhanced Layer 2 infrastructure. Critics, especially in the Knots camp, warn that this opens the door to chain bloat, endless spam, and a deviation from Bitcoin’s monetary roots. Knots developers, most notably Luke Dashjr and Samson Mow, argue that without limits, Bitcoin risks becoming a dumping ground for arbitrary data. A fate that would make running a node costly and possibly restrict network participation to large players. Since the Core update was finalized, Knots’ market share of full nodes has…
