Aave is planning to sunset its deployments on zkSync, Metis, and Soneium, setting a $2 million revenue threshold for new chains.

2025.12.03 09:21:21

On December 3rd, the Aave DAO approved a temperature check vote to revise its V3 multi-chain deployment strategy, planning to sunset deployments on zkSync, Metis, and Sony Soneium, while setting a clear $2 million annual revenue floor for future deployments. Aave currently operates on at least 18 blockchains, including multiple Ethereum Layer 2 networks and Layer 1 chains like Aptos and Sonic. Now, ACI—Aave’s primary delegation platform—appears to be scaling back some expansion plans and imposing stricter requirements for new deployments. As part of the proposal, ACI also recommends establishing the $2 million annual revenue floor for future deployments and introducing a stablecoin “reserve factor” for smaller revenue-generating instances. Per forum discussions, ACI’s Growth Service Provider (Growth SP) has proposed sunsetting Aave deployments on zkSync, Metis, and Sony Soneium, as these instances have failed to align with market demand. The total value locked (TVL) across these three chains is the lowest among all Aave deployments, making up only a tiny fraction of Aave’s total revenue. Metis—co-founded by Natalia Ameline, mother of Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin—currently generates an annualized revenue of just over $3,000. Soneium performs slightly better, with annualized revenue exceeding $50,000. By contrast, Aave’s largest deployment on the Ethereum mainnet generates over $142 million in annual revenue, while its deployment on Base brings in $4.7 million.

Quant will provide technical support for The Clearing House’s tokenized deposit clearing network.

According to an official announcement, Quant has announced it will provide technical support for The Clearing House’s "On-Chain Currency Initiative" to build an interoperable payment network for financial institutions. Quant will oversee the network’s interoperability, orchestration, and transaction management layers, and integrate existing fiat payment systems including RTP and CHIPS, enabling financial institutions to access clearing and settlement capabilities for tokenized deposit transactions. The initiative aims to meet the growing demand from enterprises and financial institutions for faster, more automated, and flexible fund flow methods, enabling instant payment settlement and supporting auto-triggered transactions when pre-set conditions are met, thereby reducing manual operations and processing delays. Tokenized deposits are the digital form of traditional bank deposits, retaining the regulatory and protection mechanisms of conventional deposits while being recorded and transferred on-chain. The network will be applied to use cases including corporate treasury management, liquidity management, cross-border payments, and digital asset settlement, and is expected to open to participating institutions in the first half of 2027. The Clearing House stated that its U.S. payment network processes over $2 trillion in daily clearing and settlement volume, and this partnership will provide infrastructure support for financial institutions of all sizes to participate in the tokenized deposit network.
