1. Updates from Llama 🦙
Aave
We recently shared our May 2023 financial report. Aave treasury holdings at month end totaled $120.2m (with 67% of the treasury in AAVE).
In the month of May, Aave had inflows of $1.1m in revenue, while deposits totaled $8.1 billion.
This Saturday, we shared a new ARFC on Aave’s forum to add rETH to Aave v3 Optimism as collateral and to the ETH correlated eMode. By adding rETH and providing LST diversification, Aave presents itself as a neutral platform offering users the choice between various LSTs.
In other news, we recently hosted a Twitter Spaces session featuring a special guest, Stani Kulechov. Together, we discussed updates from our 8th month of work and the exciting future of Aave and GHO. In case you missed it, check out the replay.
