1. Executive Summary

Aave V3 introduces significant structural improvements over V2, focusing on capital efficiency, risk isolation, and cross-chain liquidity sharing. Key architectural additions include Efficiency Mode (eMode), Isolation Mode, Siloed Borrowing, and Supply/Borrow Caps.

While these features significantly mitigate systemic cascade risks, they also expand the attack surface. The primary security boundaries shift from standard pool-
