briefly
Blockdaemon and Aave Labs have entered into a strategic partnership to provide institutions with secure and direct access to Aave’s DeFi lending marketplace and on-chain liquidity through the Blockdaemon Earn Stack.
Infrastructure company Blockdaemon announced the formation of a strategic partnership with Aave Labs, a key technology contributor to the Aave Protocol, which aims to enable streamlined access for institutions to the decentralized finance (DeFi) lending market.
Through this collaboration, Aave Vaults will serve as the exclusive primary lending provider integrated within the Blockdaemon DeFi widget, forming a core component of Blockdaemon’s earning stack.
The integration facilitates direct institutional access to Aave’s on-chain capital markets, designed to support institutional-scale operations and deliver optimized risk-adjusted returns while providing access to over $70 billion in liquidity through Aave Vault.
The partnership also includes Horizon, an extension institutional platform that allows lending against tokenized real-world assets (RWA), as well as support for BTC, ETH, and stablecoin assets.
By combining the expertise and credibility of both organizations, this collaboration aims to establish a new standard for institutional participation in the DeFi ecosystem. This announcement outlines the benefits the partnership brings for Blockdaemon users, Aave participants, and the broader DeFi community.
Blockdaemon and Aave Partnership Provide Secure, Direct Access to Institutional DeFi Yields While Maintaining Full Asset Control
With this integration, Blockdaemon will allow users to leverage staking rewards and idle balances within Aave’s DeFi marketplace directly through Blockdaemon Earn Stack while retaining full ownership of their assets.
This setup allows you to access reliable and transparent cryptocurrency and stablecoin yields across the Aave pool without incurring additional smart contract risk or relying on intermediaries.
Aave Vault operates on an unmanaged model, allowing users to maintain control of their assets. Aave Labs oversees the security and functionality of the Vault infrastructure, while Blockdaemon provides institutional-grade node and staking services, creating an efficient connection between institutional capital and decentralized liquidity.
As strategic collaborators, Blockdaemon and Aave plan to pursue additional initiatives to drive institutional DeFi adoption. This partnership marks a significant step forward in safely and scalably integrating institutional capital into the on-chain ecosystem.
