[Temp Check] Deploy Aave V4 on Tempo

Summary This Temp Check seeks community feedback on deploying Aave v4 on Tempo Mainnet. Tempo is a new purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain for payments, developed in partnership with leading fintechs and Fortune 500s like DoorDash, Deel, Shopify, Moneygram and more. Incubated by Stripe and Paradigm, Tempo is designed for stablecoin use cases including cross-border payments, remittances, embedded finance, payroll, and treasury management that bring real business value to companies adopting blockchain technology. Launching Aave v4 on Tempo would position Aave as a key infrastructure partner for Tempo and the enterprises building on Tempo. Motivation Tempo launched on mainnet in March 2026. Since then, the Tempo team has been building yield and credit products with enterprise partners. With regulatory clarity emerging around stablecoins and crypto, traditional companies are increasingly positioned to build onchain using DeFi infrastructure. Tempo is excited to partner with the Aave ecosystem on bringing these use cases to life. Deploying Aave v4 on Tempo will: Expand Aave’s liquidity footprint to include traditional enterprises and fintechs Develop new markets by listing bespoke real-world assets exclusive to Tempo Grow GHO by powering B2B credit use cases on Tempo Drive new revenue opportunities that will accrue value back to the Aave DAO and $AAVE token holders For the first year after Aave v4 launches on Tempo, the Tempo team will incentivize pathUSD deposited on Aave at around SOFR rate. This will establish a sustainable baseline incentive APY for the pathUSD supply market. pathUSD is a native stablecoin on Tempo issued by Bridge. Specification If governance supports this Temp Check, the next phase will be an ARFC for deploying Aave v4 on Tempo. The ARFC would include the proposed initial supported tokens, oracle configuration, risk framework, deployment contracts, incentive strategy, and parameter recommendations from relevant Aave DAO service providers.
