Aave is live on Soneium

Aave, one of the largest decentralized liquidity protocols, has gone live on Soneium, an Ethereum Layer 2 blockchain developed by Sony Block Solutions Labs in partnership with Startale Labs. The deployment, executed as Aave V3 on Soneium, follows an Aave governance “Temperature Check” and subsequent on-chain proposal to activate the Soneium pool and list core assets such as USDC.e, USDT, and WETH with tailored risk parameters. According to Aave founder Stani Kulechov, Soneium is positioned as a consumer-focused L2 built for mass adoption, aiming to serve millions of existing on-chain wallet addresses tied to Sony’s ecosystem. The integration is strategically significant for both Aave and Soneium. For Aave, Soneium offers access to a mainstream-oriented environment centered on DeFi, gaming, NFTs, and entertainment, with the potential to leverage Sony’s distribution channels and user base. For Soneium, onboarding Aave as a flagship liquidity protocol, along with Aave’s decentralized stablecoin GHO, supports the build-out of a robust DeFi stack and enables experiments with real-world use cases such as payments, savings, and digital commerce. The launch is also tied to ecosystem incentives, including participation in Soneium’s liquidity campaigns and a broader liquidity bootstrapping initiative using Astar-native ASTR tokens to attract users and capital to the new L2.
