The post Aave V3 Goes Live On Aptos, Aave’s First Non-EVM Deployment appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com.

Aave V3 is now live on Aptos, marking the protocol’s first deployment on a non-EVM chain after more than five years of operating on Ethereum and EVM-compatible networks. The move puts Aave into the Move language ecosystem and broadens its multi-chain footprint beyond Solidity-based blockchains. Bringing Aave V3 to Aptos was far from a copy-paste job. Because Aptos isn’t EVM-compatible, the Aave team rebuilt the protocol from the ground up in Move, reimplemented the Aave Labs interface for the new environment, and adapted the protocol’s core business logic to run inside the Aptos virtual machine. The Aave documentation describes the Aptos implementation as a faithful Move port of the Aave V3.3 architecture, tailored to take advantage of Aptos’ design. Chainlink, Aptos Foundation and a Security-first Workflow The Aptos deployment leaned heavily on external partners. Chainlink supplied production-ready price feeds for the testnet and mainnet activation work, a collaboration the teams say was critical to getting reliable on-chain pricing into Aave on Aptos. From the very start, the project involved security researchers, a deliberate, security-first approach that Aave emphasized throughout testing. The code and deployment underwent a multi-pronged vetting process: several formal audits, a Capture-The-Flag (CTF) security competition run by Cantina, and an active bug-bounty program. Cantina’s security challenge and a larger bounty program put real economic incentives behind finding issues before they hit users; the public bounty offering for the Aptos deployment totals 500,000 GHO (Aave’s native protocol stablecoin). Market Rollout and Risk Controls At launch, the Aptos market opened with a small asset slate: APT (native token), sUSDe, USDT and USDC. Supply and borrow caps will be conservative at first and increase gradually as the market proves itself, a standard risk-aware cadence overseen by Aave’s governance and third-party risk teams. Chaos Labs and LlamaRisk provided the risk analysis and…
