RPL 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 RPL (Rocket Pool's liquid staking token) and it gets lent out to borrowers at a variable rate; you earn 1.15% APY, which comes from the 3.99% rate borrowers pay, minus 20% that Aave keeps as treasury fee. RPL is borrow-only on Ethereum V3, meaning you cannot use it as collateral to borrow other assets—you're purely a lender here. Your deposit is redeemable at the reserve's available liquidity ($375.9k of $595.0k supplied), so redemptions beyond that amount would queue.
Aave Risk Council and BGD Labs oversee this reserve; no paused, frozen, or isolation flags are active, signaling governance sees no urgent operational concern.
The 1.15% supply APY reflects borrow demand at 36.8% utilization and the 20% reserve factor. At this moderate utilization level, the rate is stable—neither starved of borrowers nor overextended.
No risks are flagged above elevated severity. RPL itself carries issuer and market concentration risk (it's a single-purpose staking token with liquidity concentrated in a small holder base), but Aave's risk parameters do not currently highlight liquidity or oracle concerns.
Good fit for passive RPL holders comfortable with low yields and moderate redemption friction; avoid if you need immediate liquidity or plan to withdraw the full balance regularly.
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.
How the composite risk score breaks down. Every number traces to an explicit input — /methodology documents each factor's formula.
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.
