Aave’s innovations in DeFi insurance, like the Umbrella safety system, enhance value by protecting against bank runs and bad debt, potentially covering billions. This replaces the Safety Module, funded by voluntary aToken deposits, improving flexibility and governance. Real-time Edge Risk Oracles adjust supply/borrow caps dynamically, boosting security and efficiency over manual processes. Combined with revenue-driven buybacks and Anti-GHO tokens, these upgrades reduce systemic risks and align $AAVE’s value with protocol growth. Enhanced safety attracts more users and capital, strengthening Aave’s position in DeFi lending as of March 17, 2025.
