tETH 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 tETH on Ethereum means you lend it out to borrowers on Aave V3, who repay interest that becomes your supply APY. tETH is borrow-only here—you cannot use it as collateral to borrow other assets. Your deposited balance stays redeemable at the reserve's available liquidity ($896.3k currently). The supply rate is set by borrow demand: it equals the variable borrow rate (currently 0.00%) times utilization (0.0%) times the share kept by suppliers after Aave's 15% reserve factor.
Aave governance (Risk Council, BGD Labs, Aave Chan Initiative) has not flagged tETH with pause, freeze, isolation, or siloed status; it operates as an open borrow-only reserve.
At 0.00% supply APY and 0.0% utilization, there is currently no borrow demand and therefore no earned interest. Until borrowers use tETH, the reserve generates no yield.
The deterministic risk score is 12/100 (low severity). No material risks have been flagged above elevated severity in the current reserve state.
Good fit for allocators accepting zero current yield in exchange for simple liquidity provision and potential future borrow demand; avoid if you need immediate income.
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.

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.
