# Aave Labs Acquires Avon Team and Technology to Expand Lending

Aave Labs has acquired Avon’s team and technology, bringing expertise in both fixed-rate and floating-rate onchain lending into the Aave organization. The announcement does not specify a price, product launch, or timeline, so the practical impact for Aave users is not yet clear.

## Key takeaways

- Aave Labs acquired Avon’s team and technology.
- Avon is an onchain protocol for fixed-rate and floating-rate lending.
- The announcement did not disclose a purchase price or product rollout timeline.
- Aave Labs has not confirmed that Avon technology is integrated into Aave markets.

Aave Labs has acquired the team and technology behind Avon, an onchain lending protocol that supports both fixed and floating interest rates. The deal adds Avon’s people and technology to Aave Labs, but no purchase price or rollout plan was disclosed.

For borrowers, fixed rates can offer more certainty about interest costs, while floating rates change with market conditions. The acquisition signals an interest in both approaches, but it does not yet mean Aave users have access to a new fixed-rate product.

## What Avon’s technology could mean for Aave

Avon’s focus on fixed- and floating-rate lending gives Aave Labs technology and a team working across two ways of setting borrowing costs. That could support future products, but the announcement alone does not confirm whether Avon’s protocol will continue independently or how its technology might be integrated.

The distinction matters to users: a fixed rate can make loan costs easier to plan, while a floating rate may rise or fall over time. Neither option is automatically cheaper; the key difference is how predictable the cost is.

## What to watch for next

The next useful details would be whether Aave Labs announces an integration, a launch date, or changes to how users borrow. Until then, this is a team-and-technology acquisition rather than a confirmed change to existing Aave markets.

The move comes amid renewed attention to fixed-rate DeFi lending: [Morpho recently introduced its Midnight fixed-rate protocol on Base](/articles/2026-07-21-morpho-launches-fixed-rate-lending-on-base-with-midnight-protocol) alongside its variable-rate markets. That comparison helps frame Aave Labs’ acquisition as part of a push to offer more predictable borrowing choices, though there is no announced Aave product to compare directly yet.

## FAQ

### What did Aave Labs acquire?

Aave Labs acquired the team and technology of Avon, an onchain protocol focused on fixed-rate and floating-rate lending.

### Will Aave users get fixed-rate loans now?

The announcement does not confirm a new fixed-rate product or an integration into Aave markets. Users would need to wait for further details from Aave Labs.

### What is the difference between fixed-rate and floating-rate lending?

A fixed rate is designed to keep borrowing costs predictable for a set period, while a floating rate can change with market conditions.
