Accelerating the convergence of TradFi and DeFi. @aave Horizon is purpose-built for borrowing stablecoins against tokenized RWAs, which aligns directly with Grove’s mission to scale onchain credit.

The blueprint for onchain finance is built on trust, deep coordination, and cutting-edge technology. Great insight from @kevinlichan (@grovedotfinance) on our collaborative work launching new funds, starting with JAAA, and now ACRDX. This is the model for every future launch!

The full story of onchain native businesses has yet to be written. Grove is doing its part to help push for a model where mission oriented contributors, early adopters, and community leaders are, once again, at the center of a tokenomic system. Read more here:
