Central to the update is the Cross-Chain Liquidity Layer (CCLL), which aggregates liquidity across multiple blockchains, enabling users to collateralize assets on one chain and seamlessly borrow on another. The layer leverages Chainlink\u2019s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol to facilitate these cross-chain transactions and expands support to both EVM and non-EVM chains, such as Aptos.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the full launch, Aave Labs will release public documentation, a testnet with a new user interface, and a public codebase, enabling the community and service providers to trial V4 workflows. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/governance.aave.com\/t\/aave-v4-launch-roadmap\/23134\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">governance.aave.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>    <!-- .cn-block-related-link --><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Aave V4: scaling DeFi lending with market leadership<\/h2>\n<p>Aave V4 builds on the success of V3 by enhancing scalability, flexibility, and cross-chain functionality while maintaining the protocol\u2019s security and efficiency.
