syrupUSDT 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 syrupUSDT (a Maple-issued token representing USDT) into Aave and it gets lent out to borrowers. The supply cap is full at $114.16M with zero current borrowing demand—you're earning 0.00% APY because there are no borrowers. You can redeem your deposit at any time since all liquidity is available, but only if someone else hasn't already withdrawn ahead of you given the cap constraint. The reserve is enabled as collateral but with 0% LTV, meaning it provides no borrowing power.
Aave Risk Council governs this reserve with no current pause or freeze flags.
Supply APY is 0.00% because utilization is 0%—there are no borrowers, so no interest accrues. With zero borrow demand, the rate will remain at floor until borrowing activity resumes.
The supply cap is 100% consumed, creating a hard ceiling on new deposits; further inflows will revert. Maple token concentration and issuer solvency are secondary to this mechanics constraint.
Avoid if you need yield or expect quick exits; good fit only as a parking spot if you expect the cap to lift and borrow demand to return.
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.
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.
