Aave Proposes Cutting Six Low Revenue Networks

Aave is planning to cut ties with six blockchain networks that are not generating enough activity. The proposal targets Sonic, Scroll, zkSync, Metis, Soneium, and Aptos. Developers argue these deployments earn very little revenue, making them a distraction from the core platform goals.

The plan also involves retiring 50 individual asset markets across the remaining networks. Data shows that deposits on some of these specific chains have dropped by more than 90 percent, indicating that users are no longer finding value in these secondary locations.

This move represents a shift toward quality over quantity for the decentralized lending giant. By reducing the number of active chains, the team hopes to manage liquidity more efficiently and focus on its most profitable sectors.

Investors and users should watch the governance voting process closely. If the proposal passes, users will need to migrate their positions to other supported markets to avoid issues with their deposits.
