Stable Finance is best known for its mobile app, which lets users deposit dollars or crypto to earn interest through stablecoin yield strategies. The app hid much of the technical complexity of DeFi, giving users a single interface for onchain savings, according to a press release.
Aave Labs founder Stani Kulechov said the deal reinforces the company’s goal of making “onchain finance into everyday finance.” The company already operates Aave.com and Horizon, an institutional platform introduced in August that has attracted more than $300 million in deposits.
Stable’s technology will be folded into future Aave Labs products, and its existing app will be phased out. The acquisition marks Aave’s third talent-focused deal, following Sonar in 2022 and Family in 2023, as it continues expanding its product design capabilities.
