Aave V4 Goes Live on Ethereum as Sentora Becomes First External Curator

Aave V4 launched on Ethereum with Sentora as the first external curator, managing three isolated lending markets for RLUSD, PYUSD, and OUSD. Sentora controls collateral and rates, while the Aave DAO oversees contracts. New assets require governance approval, and risk changes have a 48-hour timelock. This marks the first real-world use of Aave's Hub-and-Spoke design.

Aave Just Made Borrowing USDT More Expensive — Here’s the Hidden Reason

Aave adjusted its USDT borrowing costs on Ethereum Core, lowering the optimal utilization threshold from 94% to 92%. This change increases borrowing APR to 7% at 94% utilization, up from 4.5%. The move aims to preserve liquidity for suppliers, creating a buffer of approximately 57.8 million USDT in withdrawal headroom, according to LlamaRisk. The protocol encourages borrowers to repay debt or reduce leverage, but does not guarantee uninterrupted withdrawals.
