The chart visually confirms the post's observation that Aave V4 remained flat for months before EtherFi's distribution integration drove a dramatic spike in adoption. > > "Aave V4 sat around 1K monthly users for five months. Then August jumped above 60K. The architecture didn’t suddenly change. Distribution did. @ether_fi Cash plugged into V4 and brought its own users with it. That’s the interesting part. @aave doesn’t need to own the user to own" --- *Generated by Context Pilot Social Intelligence Engine.*
