Aave Grants DAO Update 🏗

Bring on Gelato Summer. Aave users on Polygon can now kickback and relax with no fear of liquidations thanks to the launch of Cono Finance by Gelato Network. Cono Finance rebalances an Aave user’s debt position if it falls below a specified health factor. Shout out to @gitpusha and team who went from grant to product launch in less than one month 🤯

State of the protocol 📰

All time highs. Aave's total market size is back to its ATH of 22 Billy. Adoption has compensated for the lower asset prices now compared to May, as evidenced by Polygon having twice as many active users compared to Ethereum L1.
