Aave V3 · Ethereum

WSTETH (Prime Instance)

Overview

Aave V3's WSTETH pool on Ethereum is a single-asset lending market where users deposit wrapped staked ETH to earn yield. The pool currently offers a base APY of 5.17 percent with no additional reward incentives, for a total APY of 5.17 percent. Over the past 30 days, APY has averaged 3.59 percent and increased by 1.76 percent; the 7-day trend shows a slight decline of 0.29 percent. The pool holds 93.14 million dollars in total value locked, though 7-day TVL change data is unavailable. As a single-asset pool, it carries no impermanent loss exposure, though users face smart-contract risk inherent to the Aave protocol and potential smart-contract risks specific to wrapped stETH mechanics.
