Aave Labs announced on November 6 that it had acquired Avon’s team and technology, according to NewsBTC. The acquired resources include systems for fixed- and floating-rate lending as well as an onchain order book, broadening the technical capabilities associated with the Aave ecosystem.

NewsBTC is the only outlet supplied with coverage of the transaction, and no independent outlet report was provided to corroborate the announcement. The available summary also does not disclose the purchase price, financing terms, employee allocation or specific timetable for integrating Avon’s technology into Aave products.

The transaction gives Aave Labs access to lending infrastructure designed to accommodate different interest-rate structures. Avon’s order book technology may also support a more conventional market interface, while the fixed-rate component introduces a mechanism for borrowing and lending at predetermined rates onchain.
