We are pleased to announce our support for 7️⃣ new teams accelerating @gho & @aaveaave

Awarded during September and October, these projects have the potential to make lasting impacts in the Aave ecosystem with their unique solutions and all-star teams

Let's check them out: 👇

1️⃣ Polynomial Protocol

@polynomialfinance is a decentralized derivative trading exchange powered by Synthetix on Optimism. Their new product feature will leverage Aave flash loans for funding rate arbitrage, a popular delta-neutral trading strategy.

2️⃣ Wasabi Protocol

Wasabi unlocks Aave liquidity for levered token exposure, improved capital efficiency & increased interest.

Buyers use liquidity previously reserved for borrowers to facilitate margin trading with minimal upfront investment, slippage & price impact.

3️⃣ Alcor Finance

Alcor Finance is a next-generation options AMM. It’s capital efficient, completely decentralized, viable on Ethereum mainnet, and allows liquidity providers to earn the spread fees from options market-making.

Alcor's liquidity providers will be able to keep funds in Aave to earn additional APY.

4️⃣ Clique

As part of an upcoming attestation campaign on Optimism, Clique will increase Aave’s V3 retention rates, cross-pollinate between users of similar protocols, identify power users, and target growth through user recognisability.

5️⃣ Ambos Finance

Ambos Finance is on a mission to simplify DeFi lending for both crypto natives and newcomers.

By integrating Aave's lending protocol with their state-of-the-art UX and UI, Aave will become more accessible and user-friendly for all.

6️⃣ Aeris Protocol

Aeris Protocol is building under-collateralized loans on top of Aave, targeted towards institutions. Users will gain access to capital-efficient yields while driving borrowing volumes and activity to Aave.

7️⃣ Flair

Flair offers reusable indexing primitives to make it easy to receive, transform, store, and access on-chain data from any EVM chain. Developers and protocols will have a new way to analyze and evaluate Aave's historical data across all deployments.

Congratulations to the 7️⃣ awarded teams and we look forward to seeing your progress!

Today marks our 1 Year Anniversary of making friends onchain 🎂!

Thank you to everyone who has made the first year of Lens Protocol so special and groundbreaking. Lens has brought together builders, creators, communities, and friends, all while in beta.

There's so much planned for the second year ahead, and we can't wait to continue to grow with all of you.

Who did you become frens with on Lens?
