Aave is Now Live on X Layer

Aave, one of the world's most trusted DeFi lending protocols, has arrived on X Layer. Starting today, OKX Wallet customers and DeFi participants globally can supply assets, borrow against collateral, and earn automatically compounding yield, directly on X Layer, natively inside OKX Wallet. No bridging, separate wallet setup unfamiliar interface.

With a multi-year track record across more than a dozen blockchain networks and a 60% market share of DeFi lending, Aave is the largest and most trusted onchain lending network, with over $46 billion in supply & borrow. Its arrival on X Layer brings that same battle-tested infrastructure to OKX's L2 ecosystem, permissionless, non-custodial, and accessible directly from OKX Wallet.

For X Layer, this is a meaningful step forward. A top-tier lending protocol expands what the whole ecosystem can do: more composability for developers building on the chain, more options for users who want their assets to work harder, and deeper liquidity overall. For OKX Wallet users newer to DeFi, Aave is one of the best starting points, established, audited, and fully non-custodial. You stay in control of your assets at every step.

What you can do today

Aave on X Layer runs on v3.6 and is accessible natively inside OKX Wallet with no bridging or additional setup required.

• Earn passively on idle assets. Supply USDT0, USDG, GHO, xBTC, xETH, xSOL, xBETH, or xOKSOL and earn competitive yield that compounds automatically, without giving up custody of your tokens.

• Borrow without selling. Maintain upside exposure to your crypto holdings while accessing stablecoin or cross-asset liquidity. Borrow USDT0, USDG, GHO, xBTC, xETH, or xSOL against your collateral, no credit check, no intermediary.

• Go further with eMode. X Layer launches with six dedicated Efficiency Modes calibrated to its asset ecosystem. Borrow at up to 88% LTV for liquid staking pairs (xBETH to xETH, xOKSOL to xSOL), or up to 78% LTV for crypto-to-stablecoin eModes, versus the 70% standard LTV. Higher efficiency means more of your capital is working, with less sitting idle as buffer.

• Manage your funds on Aave X Layer directly within OKX Wallet. Deposit or withdraw your assets without needing to use Aave's interface. Trade your tokenised Aave supply positions, aTokens (aXlrUSDT0, aXlrxETH, aXlrUSDG) on OKX DEX anytime without manually withdrawing from Aave first, with real-time market data and pricing.
