Aave vs Liminal

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.

Liminal Basis is an automated strategy protocol designed to capture basis and funding-rate opportunities on Hyperliquid. It packages market-neutral positions that combine spot and perpetual exposure, seeking yield from price convergence and funding rather than directional market moves. Strategy execution, hedging and rebalancing are automated so depositors can access the trade through an on-chain vault.
