Why Aave V4 spokes are important for Aave. The spokes are simply lending markets that can have generic or expand custom use-cases.
DeFi moves incredibly fast and its time consuming to build everything ourself even if we wanted to. Spokes allow to partner with external teams that have expertise on a subject such as AMMs, perps, fixed lending, crypto or securities custody and expand Aave's liquidity into these new use-cases.
Aave SPs review the implementation and the Aave DAO takes a fee as fee sharing. Partners are accessing Aave's deep liquidity and distribution while Aave is accessing speed, expertise and new monetization opportunities. Fully implemented directly at a protocol level as an expansion.
It's a scale, speed and monetization advantage.
Aave will win.
