SNX 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 SNX (Synthetix's native token) on Ethereum and it gets lent out to borrowers at a variable rate, earning you 0.16% APY. SNX is not enabled as collateral—only borrowers who already have eligible collateral elsewhere can borrow against SNX supply. Your deposit is redeemable at the reserve's available liquidity ($39.1k of the $51.0k supplied), and the supply rate is set by multiplying the 14.80% borrow APY by 23.4% utilization and subtracting the 95% reserve factor that goes to Aave's treasury.
Aave Risk Council / BGD Labs govern this reserve; no freeze, pause, or isolation flags are active.
Supply APY of 0.16% comes from the 14.80% borrow demand against SNX, compressed heavily by the 95% reserve factor. At 23.4% utilization, the rate is stable but very thin—most borrower interest flows to Aave, not suppliers.
Supply cap is at 100% and deposits may revert when full, blocking further inflows and concentrating exit pressure on the $39.1k liquidity buffer. SNX has low trading volume relative to the $51k supplied, so large redemptions could face slippage.
Avoid if you expect to add to this position or need flexible exit; the near-full cap and razor-thin yield make it unsuitable for new allocators.
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.

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.
