The discussion continues to revolve around the proposal by Scroll_zkEVM to deploy Aave V3 on the Scroll testnet¹. This initiative aligns with Aave's objective of becoming a multi-chain system and leveraging the advantages of zk rollups, a significant advancement in Ethereum scaling. Scroll's solution, which is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), would facilitate a seamless transition of Aave's codebase without necessitating additional engineering resources¹.

Scroll, an Ethereum-native zkEVM Layer 2 solution, aims to enhance Ethereum's scalability without compromising security. It offers EVM equivalence and developer friendliness, allowing developers to operate in a familiar environment without the need to learn a new language or trust custom architecture¹. The proposal suggests that deploying Aave V3 on Scroll would enable Aave to capture the zkEVM market early and contribute to the evolution of Layer 2 user behavior¹.

The Scroll testnet is live and its ecosystem is growing rapidly, with over 900k unique wallet addresses since January 2023 and an average of over 500k transactions per day¹. Scroll's zk rollup is currently the most secure Layer 2 scaling solution, relying solely on cryptography. The Scroll team plans to first submit the necessary snapshots for deploying Aave v3 on their testnet, following community guidelines and collaborating with BDG Labs. The full deployment is expected to take 2-3 weeks¹.

Community members such as MarcZeller and Kene_StableLab have expressed their support for the proposal, citing the benefits of L2 diversity and EVM-equivalence, which would allow for the deployment of Aave on the new network with minimal development work^2,3. The low cost of deployment on the devnet makes exploring this new L2 frontier a viable option². The community is eager to advance the proposal³.

EzR3aL asked about the project's status, noting that Chainlink feeds are now live on the mainnet and inquiring about any plans for deployment⁴. In response, Scroll_zkEVM from the Scroll team announced the launch of their mainnet and their intention to proceed with the governance process to deploy Aave on the Scroll mainnet⁵. They also revealed that they have already accumulated over 34M in bridged TVL and 17M in DeFi TVL, with over 2M transactions and 700K unique addresses on-chain. They have onboarded numerous DeFi and infrastructure applications, as well as many Scroll-native projects⁵.

The Scroll team passed the Temp Check to deploy an Aave v3 MVP deployment in June and are currently awaiting the technical risk assessment. They have provided preliminary information to facilitate the process and reduce the workload for the DAO⁵. EzR3aL then asked Bgdlabs if they were aware of this for making a technical/infrastructural report for Aave and Scroll⁶. Bgdlabs confirmed that the technical/infrastructural analysis is in progress and updates will be provided soon⁷.
