This is exactly what I warned about in the recent Aave Labs proposal.
The protocol wasn’t the issue. The product built on top was.
Once you vertically integrate products under the same brand, failures in those layers inevitably bleed into the protocol’s reputation.
The more centralized products launched under the Aave brand, the more reputational damage from outside the protocol will accumulate.
Aave is at a real crossroads.
The Aave Labs proposal concentrates power and risks choking ecosystem innovation.
Calling it “Aave Will Win” is highly manipulative framing and should be called out as such.
Early warning signs are already here:
→ @bgdlabs is leaving
If this proposal passes, Aave risks drifting toward:
· higher degrees of centralization
· app-layer mistakes bleeding into protocol brand risk
· less independent building
· a missed chance to become neutral financial infrastructure
We also need to ask whether the risk–reward of building on Aave still makes sense going forward.
A stronger path: invest in 100+ ecosystem startups, let the edge emerge from the network, and bring in more capital through the ecosystem.
Choose ecosystem over egosystem.

📢 Upcoming Merchant Moe Integration
We are welcoming another major player to the Mantle ecosystem!
@MerchantMoe_xyz's liquidity will soon be accessible through 1delta's spot and margin trading interface which offers the best swap rates on #Mantle.
https://t.co/r6s4qt13eI
We are excited to announce the dawn of Lendle's modular strategy.
@1deltaDAO is our first partner to launch a dApp built on-top of our liquidity layer, namely their margin trading platform!
Let's delve into what this innovation offers to our #DeFi users.
First of all...
1delta allows users to build any long or short position with all assets available on Lendle.
Don’t know what margin trading is? This article explains how it works:
👉 https://t.co/DnJYD1EJIO
However, there's more!
In fact, 1delta is powered by Automated Looping.
Many Lendle users are already looping assets to build a leverage position. 1delta allows to do this in a single click and a single transaction.
Are you curious to find out how to short an asset?
In that case, check out the blog post on shorting assets using 1delta:

But it doesn't end here.
1delta allows users to do leveraged staking.
This article explains the details and steps to perform leveraged staking:

Going Mantle
This is the full version of last week's announcement.
We are excited to announce our upcoming expansion into the Mantle ecosystem, as 1delta brings its DeFi protocol to this new network. Our journey begins with a closed beta scheduled for early November, followed by a public release scheduled for late November.
For this expansion, 1delta is collaborating with some of the key players of this nascent ecosystem.
About 1delta
1delta is currently pioneering margin trading in DeFi, offering the first margin trading protocol that allows users to build margin positions with a single click, eliminating the need for manual looping.
The 1delta protocol is composed of lending and exchange protocols, aggregating their liquidity to provide the best possible rates in DeFi. The protocol is composable itself, allowing third parties to build new protocols and applications based on this new money lego.
All deposits are made directly into the lending protocol, reducing smart contract risk as much as possible.
To learn more about 1delta, we invite you to explore our blog:

Mantle
@0xMantle is an EVM-compatible L2 on Ethereum, launched in July 2023, featuring a modular architecture, optimistic roll-ups, and a decoupled data availability layer, resulting in high scalability and low transaction fees.
Mantle was originally initiated by BitDAO in 2022, the largest DAO by treasury size with $2.5B in liquid assets. In May 2023, BitDAO merged with Mantle under a single token and a single brand.
BitDAO, now part of the Mantle brand, is backed by industry leaders such as Peter Thiel, Pantera Capital, and Dragon Capital.
We believe that there is an opportunity in expanding its presence to this early ecosystem, as @0xMantleEco brings the technical and economical prerequisites to become a significant network.
Lending Partner
1delta is collaborating with @lendlexyz, the leading lending protocol on Mantle for the provision of liquidity for the margin positions on this network.
Lendle features liquidity pools with over $3M in liquidity for the following assets:
- USDC
- USDT
- WMNT
- WBTC
- WETH
1delta will help Lendle users to greatly simplify more advanced use cases such as building leveraged positions and yield farming, making Lendle’s liquidity accessible to new customer segments.
Swaps
1delta will launch its beta with an integration of @FusionX_Finance and will add more DEXs in the future.
1delta features its own route optimizer that will offer the best exchange rate on Mantle to its users. This is done by considering multihop swaps and split routes across the most liquid DEXs available.
Best Rates
The low borrow rates allow traders to build inexpensive positions compared to perps. On Mantle, the ultra-low trading fees make DeFi trading attractive even for smaller trades.
You can find a fee calculator on our website.
Enabling Advanced Yield Farming
1delta builds 1-click positions in lending protocols, allowing users to borrow and supply in a way that provides a positive yield. As a margin trading protocol, 1delta can build leveraged positions, amplifying the yield, all without manual looping. This enables advanced yield-farming strategies such as leveraged staking—all through the 1delta interface.
Future Roadmap
At 1delta, we have a dense roadmap to improve the trading experience with key features and UX optimizations, with the goal to offer a CeFi-like experience based on decentralized technology.
The availability of assets is primarily dictated by the availability of liquidity pools on Mantle, expecting that this young but well-funded ecosystem will add a large amount of assets in the coming years.
Get Started
With 1delta, you can easily build a margin position with any asset available on Lendle or execute advanced yield-farming strategies with ease.
To get started, check out the 1delta dapp, or sign up to our Mantle beta program:
