## What happened

Aave tokenholders approved a temperature check to continue evaluating an Aave v3 deployment on X Layer.

## What changed

The deployment concept advanced into the formal ARFC diligence stage, adding X Layer to Aave's active research perimeter.

## What did not change

No Aave contracts were deployed, no market was activated, and no assets or risk parameters were approved by this vote.

## Confirmed

- The official Aave Snapshot vote closed on September 21, 2025.
- The proposal received overwhelming support with only minimal opposing voting power.
- The approved next step was ARFC review, followed by later governance stages if supported.

## Still open

- X Layer's final architecture, launch status, bridge and oracle dependencies, market assets, parameters, and administrative controls were not specified.
- No final deployment payload or execution date existed at this stage.

## What it means for an advisor

- Monitor the ARFC stage for a complete chain, bridge, oracle, guardian, and asset-control assessment.
- Do not extend existing Aave approval to X Layer without a chain-specific memo review.
- Treat the vote as research-perimeter expansion, not evidence of a live or approved client venue.
