CRV supply on Aave V3 (Ethereum). Read-only on Sharpe — deposits, withdrawals, and borrows execute on app.aave.com. We surface parameters, rates, and risk so you can compare this reserve against Morpho vaults on the same asset cohort.
Plain-English summary of this vault — what it does, who runs it, where the yield comes from, and what could break it. Generated from the same deterministic inputs shown elsewhere on this page; the numbers are the source, this is just the explanation.
You deposit CRV and it gets lent out to borrowers at a variable rate; you earn 0.47% APY, paid from the difference between what borrowers pay (5.94%) and what Aave's treasury takes (35% of interest). CRV is borrow-only on Ethereum, meaning you cannot use it as collateral to borrow other assets—only to earn yield. Your deposit is redeemable at the current liquidity level ($2.46M available against $2.80M supplied).
Aave governance operates this reserve in standard active mode with no freeze, pause, or isolation flags, signaling confidence in CRV as a borrow asset.
Supply APY is derived entirely from borrow demand. At 12.5% utilization and a 35% reserve factor, the rate is mechanically: 5.94% × 12.5% × (1 − 0.35) = 0.47%. Low utilization means few borrowers are drawing CRV, so the supply rate will remain thin unless demand spikes.
The reserve carries no flagged depeg or structural risks and scores 24/100 on the composite risk index. The material constraint is borrow-only status: you cannot use CRV to unlock leverage, limiting the reserve's appeal to yield-only allocators.
Good fit for passive CRV holders seeking any yield on idle tokens; avoid if you need collateral flexibility or expect meaningful rate upside.
On Aave V3, a supplier can withdraw up to the reserve's available liquidity instantly. Above that, the withdrawal must wait for borrowers to repay or new suppliers to deposit. Markets at 95%+ utilization can keep large redemptions waiting for hours to days at current rates.
Reserve parameters are set by Aave governance (BGD Labs + Aave Chan Initiative + Risk Council). Listings, caps, IRM curves, and LLTVs change through on-chain votes.
This reserve isn't usable as collateral, so LTV / Liquidation LLTV / liquidation bonus don't apply. Borrowers can take it against other collateral; suppliers earn the variable rate driven by borrow demand.
On Aave V3, supply APY = borrow APY × utilization × (1 − reserve factor). There is no curator skim; the only intermediation cost is the reserve factor, which funds the Aave treasury. No emissions slice in v1 of this integration — the headline is fully sustainable.
Aave V3 reserves carry parameter risk (LTV/LLTV adequacy vs collateral volatility), liquidity risk (high utilization slows exit), and depeg risk on the underlying. Governance can pause / freeze / adjust caps in response to incidents. Sharpe's full risk decomposition for Aave reserves rolls in v1.1.

Per-collateral decomposition: Sharpe-style realized σ from 30 daily log returns, blended 50/50 with the asset-taxonomy tier fallback. Phase 2 will replace the tier slot with liquidity depth, mechanism classification, and holder concentration. Methodology in /methodology.

Aave V3 prices and liquidations route through Chainlink's aggregator feed for this asset. A stale, manipulated, or wrong-side update is the protocol's largest single-point-of-failure for this reserve. Chainlink has a strong track record but the failure mode is binary.
Aave V3 has been live since March 2022 with significant TVL and continuous third-party audits. Historical incidents have been contained but the protocol surface is large (Pool / aTokens / debtTokens / IRM / Oracle / UiHelpers). Treat as bounded but non-zero tail risk.
