Aave just hit $1.8 billion in total value locked on Arbitrum. Not some flashy round number for headlines—this marks Arbitrum as Aave's largest L2 deployment across the board. Think about what that whispers regarding the layer-two race.
When a DeFi blue-chip parks this much liquidity on one specific rollup, it's voting with real capital. Arbitrum isn't winning on hype or airdrop mechanics anymore; it's securing the heavyweight protocols that institutional flows follow. Meanwhile, other L2s are still scrambling for that same gravitational pull.
Bottom line? The TVL migration tells you more than any roadmap deck ever could.

To be honest, Arb really has something going on this time... 1.8B is not a small number, with a player like Aave betting, other L2s must be panicking.

ngl, arbitrum's finally moved past the appetizer phase... $1.8b on aave is basically saying "we're simmering here for the long game" while other l2s are still half-baked tbh. capital doesn't lie, roadmaps do tho
