# AAVE Governance Temp Check to Deploy Aave v3 on Tron

Source: https://governance.aave.com/t/temp-check-deploy-aave-v3-on-tron/21853

## Summary

The Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) has posted a Temp Check seeking community input on deploying Aave V3 on Tron Mainnet. The proposal argues that Tron, with about $73bn of bridged value, nearly $69bn of it in stablecoins, is the second-ranking EVM blockchain by bridged TVL after Ethereum, and that Aave has overlooked it. It states that the Tron DAO has committed to deposit funds at deployment to bootstrap liquidity, with more details to be shared at the ARFC stage. Risk parameters are to be provided by Service Providers, and if the Temp Check reaches consensus, the proposal moves to a Snapshot vote, then an ARFC, then a final AIP vote.

[TEMP CHECK] Deploy Aave v3 on Tron

Author: ACI

Date: 2025-04-18

Simple Summary

This Temp Check seeks the community’s input on the deployment of Aave V3 on Tron Mainnet.

Background

Tron is the second ranking EVM blockchain in terms of bridged TVL after Ethereum with circa $73bn of value bridged. Almost $69bn of this is stablecoins. We believe that it is time for Aave to deploy on Tron to access this liquidity and allow Tron users to access Aave to earn yield on their stablecoins and borrow against collateral.

Motivation

Aave has deployed on multiple promising new L1 and L2 EVM networks and is often one of the largest protocols on these networks. Tron stands out as a significant opportunity which Aave has previously overlooked, we believe it is time for that to change. It is time for Aave to deploy on the second largest EVM blockchain and allow Aave users the opportunity to access the $69bn of stablecoins and $73bn of bridged value on Tron. This represents a significant opportunity for Aave to grow TVL, revenue, and access a brand new market from which Aave is conspicuously absent.

Proof of Liquidity (POL) and Deposit Commitments

The Tron DAO has committed to deposit funds at deployment of the instance to bootstrap liquidity.

More details will be shared at ARFC stage.

Specification

Risk Parameters will be provided by Service Providers and this section will be updated at ARFC stage if proposal moves forward, after successful TEMP CHECK Snapshot.

Next Steps

If consensus is reached on this [TEMP CHECK], this proposal will be escalated to the Snapshot stage.

If the Snapshot outcome is YAE, this proposal will be escalated to ARFC stage.

Publication of a standard ARFC, collect community & service providers feedback before escalating proposal to ARFC snapshot stage.

If the ARFC snapshot outcome is YAE, publish an AIP vote for final confirmation and enforcement of the proposal.

**timdaub.eth**: Haha damn, and I thought Tron was a scam. It turns out it… isn‘t? Maybe Ethereum ends up being the scam 😃

**macbudkowski.eth**: It's hard to ignore so much USDT there... Wondering how it'd work from the risk POV - if Tron is basically controlled by Justin Sun, wouldn't they be able to e.g., stop Aave liquidations?
