Aave V4 Activates on Arc

Aave’s governance record says the Arc market is operational with four launch reserves and Aave Pro access.

Aave Labs reported on September 16 that Aave V4 had been activated on Arc. According to the governance thread, the Protocol Security Council lifted a temporary halt placed on the already configured market, making it operational through Aave Pro with USDC, EURC, cirBTC and WETH available as launch reserves.

The activation followed a June proposal and a September 14 execution notice, so the relevant new event is the halt being lifted—not the earlier plan. The initial market uses one core liquidity hub with main and foreign-exchange spokes. Aave said cross-chain governance would follow when Arc’s infrastructure is ready; that future step should not be read as completed in the activation notice.
