Where does this yield come from?
Aave ETH yield comes from lending interest paid by borrowers who post ETH or liquid staking tokens as collateral to borrow stablecoins. WETH rates track leveraged staking demand. LST/LRT rates (wstETH, weETH, ezETH, etc.) tend to be lower because they are primarily used as collateral rather than actively borrowed for yield.
Risk considerations
Aave is among the most audited DeFi protocols. LST/LRT-specific risk: depositing wstETH adds Lido smart contract and de-peg risk; LRTs (weETH, ezETH, etc.) add restaking protocol risk on top of Aave risk. No DeFi deposit is insured.
Frequently asked questions
What is the current Aave ETH APY?
The top 7-day average Aave ETH vault APY is currently 1.40%, from Aave v3 Prime WETH on Ethereum. Across 4 tracked vaults (WETH, wstETH, and LRTs), rates range from 0.05% to 1.40%. Data from vaults.fyi, updated daily.
Should I deposit WETH or wstETH on Aave?
wstETH earns the Lido staking yield passively whether or not it is borrowed, making it generally higher-yielding than raw WETH when borrow demand is low. WETH rates spike when leveraged staking demand is high. The trade-off on wstETH: Lido smart contract and de-peg risk layered on top of Aave risk.
What liquid restaking tokens (LRTs) does Aave support?
Aave supports weETH (EtherFi), ezETH (Renzo), rsETH (KelpDAO), wrsETH, osETH (Stakewise), ETHx (Stader), and cbETH (Coinbase) across various networks. LRTs are primarily used as collateral on Aave, so supply APY is driven by borrow demand for each asset.
