ChainCatcher report: Aave founder Stani stated that the recent gradual contraction of low-adoption assets and networks on Aave should not be interpreted as a stance on any L1 or L2. This move is primarily aimed at reducing Aave’s operational, technical, and economic risk exposure, allowing resources to be focused on higher-impact priorities, including expanding existing high-value markets and growing securities financing services. He also emphasized that L2s remain a vital component of the Ethereum user experience. For example, Aave’s stablecoin vaults use L2 as their accounting layer, with the goal of bringing mainstream users into decentralized finance. Meanwhile, networks like Avalanche are driving the on-chain adoption of real-world assets through institutional business expansion—an area where Ethereum has historically been relatively weaker.

Aave founder Stani told On-Chain News that the protocol will gradually phase out low-adoption assets and networks. The shift aims to reduce risk exposure and focus on high-value markets and securities financing. L2 scaling remains central to Ethereum’s user experience, with Aave using L2 as the accounting layer for stablecoin vaults. Networks like Avalanche are advancing real-world asset tokenization through institutional growth—an area where Ethereum has lagged.
