The Aave mobile application for iOS now supports USDC deposits directly from the Base network. This integration utilizes the Chainlink Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol to manage transfers, eliminating the need for third-party bridges and manual asset routing.
The Base market for Aave V3 currently holds between $178 million and $182 million in USDC deposits. The utilization rate for this market is approximately 89 to 90 percent, with current borrowing rates for users sitting at around 4.6 percent.
Aave is offering depositors yields on USDC and USDT ranging from 3 percent to 6.5 percent. The mobile application also features automatic yield compounding to simplify the process for retail users.
The iOS application entered early access in August 2026, with a full public launch scheduled for later this year. As of August 2026, the cumulative loan volume across all Aave markets has exceeded $150 billion.
