Aave vs Orderly

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.

The Orderly Bridge tracks the assets deposited into Orderly, the omnichain order book infrastructure behind many perpetual DEXs. Users deposit from Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain and other networks, and their funds are settled on Orderly's own chain, where a shared central limit order book serves every front end built on Orderly. The bridged balance is the collateral used for trading across those venues.
