This publication proposes adding wstETH and wrsETH as collateral to the Aave v3 instance on the Plasma network using the Direct-to-AIP process.
rsETH is a liquid staking token issued by Kelp DAO, offering users access to rewards from ETH staking while maintaining liquidity and DeFi composability.
Following the strong adoption of wrsETH on Linea, where it is the largest LRT, this publication proposes onboarding wrsETH to Plasma. wrsETH has established a reliable track record across Aave markets, with users deposits of ~$1B on Core, ~$370M on Linea and smaller balances on other networks.
Given that:
By bringing wrsETH to Plasma, users will benefit from an additional network where they can utilize the asset under consistent risk parameters.
wstETH (wrapped stETH) is issued by Lido Finance and represents a non-rebasing version of stETH. By eliminating rebasing mechanics, wstETH is straightforward to use across lending markets, DEXes, and structured DeFi applications.
Its longstanding presence in Aave makes it a fundamental collateral asset for borrowers and a reliable source of liquidity. Introducing wstETH to Plasma serves several objectives:
