sDAI 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 sDAI means you lend your staked DAI (issued by MakerDAO) to borrowers on Ethereum; you earn the variable supply rate, which is currently 0.00% because no one is borrowing it. Your deposit is redeemable at the reserve's available liquidity ($50.5k, which equals the total supplied). sDAI cannot be used as collateral in Aave — it's borrow-only, so your role is pure lender.
Aave governance has set the supply cap at $50.5k and marked it as borrow-only. No pause, freeze, isolation, or siloed flags are active, but the supply cap is fully consumed (100%), signaling governance accepts the asset but is controlling inflow.
The 0.00% supply APY reflects zero borrow demand; there are no borrowers drawing sDAI at the moment. With 0% utilization and a 20% reserve factor, the rate will only rise if borrowers appear.
The supply cap is fully consumed; new deposits will revert until governance raises the cap or utilization falls. No collateral liquidation risk exists (you're a lender, not exposed to price moves as collateral), but redemption access depends on borrow activity or governance cap adjustments.
Avoid if you need immediate liquidity or expect higher yields; suitable only if you're comfortable with 0% APY and a frozen deposit until borrow demand arrives or the cap is increased.
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.
The honest version. Every structural failure mode this vault is exposed to, ranked by severity. If you want to know whether to invest, start here.
Supply cap is 100% filled. New deposits revert once the cap binds; cap raises require an on-chain governance vote.
