On September 11th, the Aave Chan Initiative (ACI) released a new ARFC proposal titled 'cbBTC to Aave v3 on Base and Ethereum' on Aave's governance board. cbBTC is a Bitcoin-encapsulating product soon to be launched by Coinbase, expected to become officially available in the near future. The proposal argues that incorporating cbBTC into Aave v3 will provide users with more diversified methods to leverage Bitcoin, not only enhancing their experience but also notably increasing liquidity and engagement within the protocol. In an effort to promote support and participation from the community for this innovative proposal, Aave Merit commits to offering rewards of up to $150,000 over the next three months. This action reflects Aave's dedication to constantly optimizing its platform features and boosting user benefits.
