Aave goes live on mantle for scalable DeFi
The integration enables Aave to operate on Mantle’s EVM-compatible Layer-2 network, allowing users to supply, borrow, and interact with tokenized assets at lower costs and higher throughput. Mantle’s infrastructure is designed to support real-world asset (RWA) applications, stablecoins, and restaking ecosystems, providing a foundation for high-performance DeFi strategies.
Bybit will act as a global liquidity bridge, linking centralized exchange liquidity with Mantle’s on-chain DeFi markets. This setup allows over 70 million users to seamlessly access Aave’s lending pools, participate in yield programs, and benefit from new liquidity routes. MNT-based incentives within Aave pools will further promote asset utilization and early participation.
Bridging centralized and decentralized finance
The partnership highlights a broader effort to unify capital between centralized and decentralized finance. By combining Aave’s protocol security, Mantle’s network efficiency, and Bybit’s global market reach, the collaboration aims to deliver a transparent, frictionless financial ecosystem.
Key figures from the partnership emphasized that this integration marks a pivotal step for global DeFi adoption. Users and institutions can now leverage scalable on-chain finance, with direct connectivity to Bybit’s exchange infrastructure and high-throughput DeFi markets on Mantle. Analysts suggest that this could accelerate the deployment of integrated DeFi strategies and broaden access to tokenized financial products worldwide.
Bybit, Mantle, and Aave are positioning this initiative as a blueprint for next-generation on-chain finance, combining liquidity, security, and accessibility at scale.
Meanwhile, Bybit announced a strategic collaboration with Taxbit to enhance global tax reporting and compliance for users across its international and EU platforms.
