The Next Stage of DeFi | Aave, Chainlink, and Ethena

At DeFi Summer Day, Chainlink Co-Founder Sergey Nazarov, Aave Founder Stani Kulechov, and Ethena Founder Guy Young discussed how DeFi can scale for institutions—moving beyond stablecoins to embrace other tokenized real-world assets, manage collateral onchain, and unlock new markets. Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform bringing the capital markets onchain and powering the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink stack provides the essential data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy standards needed to power advanced blockchain use cases for institutional tokenized assets, lending, payments, stablecoins, and more. Since inventing decentralized oracle networks, Chainlink has enabled tens of trillions in transaction value and now secures the vast majority of DeFi. Many of the world’s largest financial services institutions have also adopted Chainlink’s standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and top protocols such as Aave, GMX, Lido, and many others. Chainlink leverages a novel fee model where offchain and onchain revenue from enterprise adoption is converted to LINK tokens and stored in a strategic Chainlink Reserve.
