As a leader in the decentralized finance (DeFi) lending sector, Aave has significantly surpassed its competitors in terms of asset utilization, market share, and trading volume. However, its leading position is not unassailable, as protocols like Radiant and Compound are demonstrating strong growth potential and introducing promising new versions. To consolidate its market position, Aave is strengthening its core lending business, advancing the development of GHO, integrating it deeply with Aave, establishing the Aave Network with the design of V4, and expanding its non-lending business ecosystem.
