eBTC 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 eBTC and it sits in the reserve earning 0% APY because no one is borrowing eBTC against this pool right now. Your deposit is redeemable at any time since all $6.91M supplied is available as liquidity. eBTC is enabled as collateral, meaning borrowers can use it to secure loans of other assets—but currently there's zero demand for eBTC borrowing on Aave V3 Ethereum.
Aave governance has not flagged this reserve with pause, freeze, isolation, or silo status, signaling no immediate concern, though the zero-utilization state indicates limited organic integration into the protocol's lending activity.
Supply APY is 0% because utilization is 0%—no borrowers, no interest accrual. The rate formula (borrow APY × utilization × (1 − reserve factor)) yields nothing when demand is absent. This will remain flat until eBTC borrowing emerges.
The risk score is 20/100, well below protocol median, and no elevated risks are flagged. The main dependency is accurate eBTC/ETH pricing; any oracle failure would break liquidations on eBTC collateral, but current low utilization limits that surface.
Avoid if you're seeking yield; good fit only if you want eBTC collateral optionality for future borrowing or as a staging ground ahead of rising eBTC demand.
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.
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.
