Aave has selected Chainlink’s Cross Chain Interoperability Protocol as the default infrastructure for cross chain activity across its ecosystem, expanding the integration to cover the Aave App and Stable Vaults.
CCIP already supports transfers of Aave’s GHO stablecoin and cross chain governance through the Aave Delivery Infrastructure, known as a.DI. The system will now also handle the Aave App’s cross chain operations, including deposits, withdrawals, vault rebalancing, yield optimization, and asset transfers.
The Aave App uses Stable Vaults to move deposits and optimize yield across Ethereum, Base, and Arbitrum. CCIP will process those actions in the background, removing the need for users to manually bridge assets before depositing them into another network.
Aave Labs introduced Stable Vaults as an infrastructure product that allows businesses to add fixed rate stablecoin yield to their own applications. The same vault technology already powers savings products inside the Aave App.
GHO and Savings GHO also use CCIP through Chainlink’s Cross Chain Token standard. GHO is currently available across eight networks, with CCIP providing a shared system for moving the stablecoin between supported chains.
