[Aave Founder Responds to V4 Criticism: Not Simply Isolated Markets, $1.2 Billion in Deposits Attracted] Aave founder Stani clarified views on Aave V4 in a post on the X platform, stating that V4 has currently attracted approximately $1.2 billion in deposits and has been deployed across multiple networks, including Ethereum, Avalanche, and Arc, while also supporting third-party curators such as EtherFi. Stani believes that the codebase of V4 is significantly smaller than that of Aave V3, and Spokes can directly utilize the liquidity of the Hub without needing to accumulate liquidity from scratch like traditional curated vaults. He also mentioned that in V4, Hubs and Spokes are by default isolated based on risk conditions, but markets with similar risk profiles can share liquidity through the Hub, thereby improving fund utilization and capital efficiency within set limits. Stani stated that fully isolating liquidity could lead to fragmentation, reduced utilization rates, and increased costs for users.
