rETH 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.
Depositing rETH means you lend Rocket Pool's liquid-staked Ethereum to borrowers on Aave, redeemable at the $103.23M available liquidity. Your deposit earns 0.00% APY (the 0.02% borrow rate × 0.1% utilization × 85% kept by lenders). rETH is enabled as collateral, so borrowers can use it to secure loans at a 75% loan-to-value ratio, or up to 93% in ETH eMode. You hold the staking yield from Rocket Pool itself separately.
Aave governance (Risk Council / BGD Labs) has not flagged this reserve; it remains in standard active mode with no pauses, freezes, or isolation restrictions.
The 0.00% supply rate reflects near-zero utilization (0.1%)—almost nobody is borrowing rETH right now. The reserve factor captures 15% of any borrower interest for Aave's treasury. Until borrow demand rises materially, lenders earn only the underlying rETH staking yield, not lending yield.
Deterministic risk score of 14/100 is low. No elevated risks are flagged. The main dependency is Rocket Pool's operational continuity and rETH's peg to ETH; neither shows current stress.
Good fit for ETH stakers who want passive rETH staking yield and don't need lending income—avoid if you depend on borrow-side yield to justify capital deployment.
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.
Borrowers in this eMode category operate against a raised LTV / LLTV against correlated assets. The on-chain liquidation surface for this reserve is the eMode LLTV, not the base — supply-side risk is calibrated to the higher figure when the borrower opts in.
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.
