Your Trading Margin on Grvt Now Earns Aave Yield
Grvt's Yield Layer now routes a portion of your trading margin through Aave V3. Earn DeFi yield from the world's largest onchain lending protocol without leaving your position.
Most traders accept a silent cost: the collateral sitting in your account earns nothing while it waits. It funds your positions but generates no return in the meantime. That's capital doing half a job.
Grvt's Yield Layer was built to close that gap. And now it's powered in part by Aave V3, the world's largest onchain lending protocol.
Aave V3 Is Now Live on Grvt
Aave V3 is now an active yield source within the Grvt Yield Layer.
A portion of the USDT deposited into Grvt is routed through smart contract, putting it to work in Aave's lending markets. The yield generated flows back to traders as part of their overall APY, without requiring any separate action on their end.
Your balance on Grvt is your trading margin. It is also now your yield-generating position. Both happen simultaneously, from the same funds, in the same balance.
How the Yield Layer Is Structured
The Grvt Yield Layer draws from two sources currently: Grvt platform fees and Aave V3. The allocation between them shifts based on overall trading activity on the platform. You can see the live split directly on the platform. It updates constantly so you always know where your funds are deployed.
Curious how much of Grvt's total TVL is deployed into Aave at any given time? The Grvt protocol page on DeFiLlama tracks this publicly. It is a protocol-level view, separate from your personal yield breakdown in the app.
What You Can Actually Earn
Earn on Equity V3 is structured around three layers of yield. Your rate increases based on how actively you use the platform:
| Boost | Condition | APY Added |
|---|---|---|
| Activity boost | 5 trades per weekly epoch | +3.50% |
| Volume boost | Hit trading volume milestones | +6.50% |
| Referral boost | Invite one new user per cycle | +1.00% |
At maximum boosts, you are looking at 11.00% APY, earned on the same balance you are using to trade.

One Balance. No Extra Steps.
Grvt was designed around a simple belief: users should never have to choose between "earn" and "trade".
Your deposited collateral earns yield from the moment it arrives. It stays available for margin. It earns through Grvt Yield Layer. When you are ready to trade, there is no delay.
This is what Grvt refers to as the one-balance design. The same funds that back your positions are the ones generating yield. Capital that is sitting idle between trades is not wasted.
