Aave vs Raydium

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.

Raydium is a Solana AMM that mirrors liquidity onto the central limit order book of OpenBook, giving takers the best of AMM depth and CLOB price discovery. V2 introduced concentrated liquidity, personal farm vaults and an on‑chain RFQ engine for institutional flow. RADIO token emissions follow a halving schedule every six months to curb inflation.
