Aave DAO, in collaboration with Trident Digital, IntoTheBlock, and TokenLogic, has launched an innovative on-chain fixed-yield loan valued at $100 million. This pioneering product in the DeFi sector aims to provide lenders and borrowers with a secure and stable investment option, mitigating the volatility and risks traditionally associated with digital assets.
This fixed-yield loan stands out for its structure designed to provide certainty in rates and terms, which is crucial in a market characterized by high volatility and uncertainty. According to Anthony DeMartino, CEO of Trident Digital, this new model offers both borrowers and lenders greater clarity and predictability in their operations, significantly reducing exposure to market fluctuations.
We're thrilled to announce our collaboration with@TriDigGroup and @Token_Logic to introduce the first $100M fixed yield loan for the Aave V3 Lido deployment.

The development of this product addresses the traditional challenges faced by lenders in the digital asset economy, where the illiquidity and volatility of governance tokens used as collateral have been a constant issue. To tackle these difficulties, Trident Digital, together with IntoTheBlock and TokenLogic, has created a solution that directly ties interest payments to the protocol’s revenue, providing a more favorable balance between risk and reward for lenders.
Aave to Launch GHO on Arbitrum Network
Additionally, Aave DAO has implemented an instance of Aave v3 to support Ether (ETH)-correlated assets as part of this initiative. This move includes a collaboration with Lido DAO to promote liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) on Mellow Finance’s Symbiotic restaking protocol. As part of the loan structure, 33,000 ETH has been locked for a three-month period, which is supplied to Aave v3, giving lenders aETH tokens as collateral.
Moreover, Aave DAO also voted to launch the GHO stablecoin on the Arbitrum network, with plans to expand its presence on other networks in phases. This decision was made considering risk management and security factors, in addition to the benefits of low transaction fees and higher throughput offered by Arbitrum.
