Aave users can now benefit from improved cross-chain asset flow, as well as a 20-25% reduction of transaction costs by gas optimization. An “isolation mode” will enhance security, while high efficiency will unlock the user’s ability to access even higher borrowing.

Because DeFi investors can deposit and borrow assets seamlessly from different blockchains, they are compatible with all other blockchains.

A user could, for example, deposit on the Polygon blockchain and then borrow on Avalanche. If they choose, they can repay the loan on another cryptocurrency, like Ethereum.

“Along with the launch of V3, there’s also a fully redesigned & refreshed Aave app on IPFS where users will be able to access simplified transaction flows, enjoy faster load times, & gain enhanced visibility into their holdings,” the platform said in the announcement.

Aave V3 is also accessible via multiple wallet integrations such as Instadapp 1inch, DeFiSaver, ParaSwap, and DeFiSaver.
