Aave vs Binance staked ETH

Aave V3 is the third iteration of the Aave liquidity market protocol, introducing Portals for cross‑chain liquidity, High‑Efficiency (E‑Mode) lending and Isolation Mode markets to compartmentalise risk. The refactor cuts gas costs by up to 25 % and adds real‑time supply/borrow caps that can be tuned by AAVE token governance. V3 is live on Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Polygon, Metis and Base, collectively holding several billion dollars in deposits secured by the Safety Module.

BETH represents staked ETH held by Binance, accruing consensus rewards daily while remaining tradable on both the CEX and BNB Smart Chain. Unstaking requests are processed in 1‑5 days, faster than the native beacon chain exit queue. Holders can farm extra yield in launch pools or use BETH as collateral on Venus.
