Ethena 2, along with the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI), proposed adding sUSDe, a synthetic dollar derivative, to Aave V3 on Ethereum. The move aims to leverage Ethena 2’s innovative financial mechanisms to enrich the Aave ecosystem, promising increased utility and profit potential through DeFi strategies.
At the heart of this offering is the innovative Ethena 2 financial engine, which aims to unlock new revenue potential for Aave DeFi. The USDe synthetic dollar derivative is a cryptocurrency stable value exchange solution carefully designed to maintain a dollar peg despite inherent market volatility.
The introduction of a staking version of USDe, sUSDe, in Aave V3 is intended to expand the functionality of the protocol and provide a profitable asset backed by a robust economic model. sUSDe’s potential as collateral paves the way for innovative approaches to borrowing and lending that are similar to other stablecoins, but with the added benefit of directly generating revenue from the protocol itself.
