What is this about?

The discussion revolves around a proposal to integrate Stader's ETHx, a staked ETH product, into the Aave V3 Ethereum market. This move is aimed at expanding the variety of Liquid Staking Tokens (LST) available on Aave V3, thereby diversifying the liquidity options for its users. The community's input is being sought through a TEMP CHECK snapshot, followed by an Aave Request for Comment (ARFC), and potentially leading to an Aave Improvement Proposal (AIP) if there is enough support from the community. The proposal has successfully passed the TEMP CHECK snapshot and has progressed to the ARFC stage.

How is the community reacting?

The community's response has been predominantly positive, with members expressing their support for the proposal. The positive reception is partly due to Stader's established reputation, bolstered by the successful integration of MATICx on the Polygon network. The progression of the proposal to the ARFC stage, as mentioned by 0xTogbe¹², indicates a high level of interest and endorsement from the community.

Why this is positive?

• ETHx provides Aave V3 users with additional benefits associated with liquid staking.
• Stader's track record with MATICx on Polygon adds credibility to the proposal.
• The integration could enhance the diversification of liquidity options on Aave V3.
• The community's favorable reaction suggests a robust demand for new LSTs like ETHx.

Why this is negative?

We have not been able to determine whether this will be negative.

Next actions

The community should engage in the ARFC stage to provide feedback and discuss the proposal in greater detail. This is a crucial step before potentially moving on to an AIP, which would formalize the onboarding of ETHx to the Aave V3 Ethereum Market. Community members are encouraged to continue participating in the discussions to shape the outcome of this initiative.
