- The unprecedented $115 million in annualized revenue for Aave has spurred conversations over a fee-switch plan.
Following this week’s record-breaking annualized revenue for the DeFi protocol, members of the Aave community are pressing for a fee flip proposal.
Aave liquidity committee member Matthew Graham said on June 2 that the protocol was generating slightly more than $80 million in revenue annually on average from seven Aave v3 & v2 installations on different blockchain networks, such as Ethereum.
The Abu Dhabi Global Market’s (ADGM) Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) is in charge of managing USDL issuance in the United Arab Emirates.
Given that CryptoSlate recently revealed that Aave was one of the few decentralized applications that cryptocurrency consumers favored over standard blockchain networks, this high revenue is hardly surprising.
As such, the remarkable profits have sparked renewed community demands for a fee switch plan. By turning on or off particular user fees, a fee switch enables a platform to perhaps redistribute transaction-generated fees to platform users.
Notably, a number of DeFi protocols—Uniswap among them—are thinking of starting a user-led project.
These calls, meantime, are being made more than a month after Aave Chain Initiative founder Marc Zeller hinted that a proposal for a fee swap was being developed.
Zeller emphasized that the Aave DAO has a healthy profit margin that will give it financial stability for the ensuing five years.
Over $20 billion is deposited
The amount of cryptocurrency deposited in Aave has surpassed $20 billion, according to data from the Token Terminal—a figure not seen since the 2022 crash of Terra’s UST algorithmic stablecoin.
According to market analysts, the protocol’s expansion indicates that the DeFi industry was quickly rebounding from the 2022 bear market lows, which resulted in the failure of multiple centralized lenders, including Celsius, Genesis, and others.
Furthermore, they claimed that the increasing liquidity is a reflection of the growing interest in Ethereum among investors, which is being fueled by excitement regarding the approval of ETH exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
Based mostly on the Ethereum network, DeFillama statistics indicates that Aave is the largest crypto-lending platform in the market. The platform has revealed intentions to roll out a number of significant projects, such as the release of Aave V4, a new look, and increased DeFi features for its customers.
