" summary

Aave V4 centralizes roughly $43 billion of on‑chain liquidity into reusable hub and spoke hubs (hubs hold assets, spokes define borrow strategies and risk parameters), so new markets avoid liquidity fragmentation and can immediately access capital. Supports cross‑chain liquidity movement, permissionless spokes with their own governance, and integration of RWAs via the Horizon RWAs initiative (permissioned money market funds as collateral). Examples: NFTs or Uniswap LP tokens as spokes, segregated risk profiles, and developer plug‑ins that seed liquidity without token incentives.
