1/ Lean Asset Integration
Aave was the first to support key tokens like $SNX $LINK and $YFI
Their foresight in supporting deep communities built a moat around lending and borrowing.

2/ Community
Aave went out of its way to form deep ties in the wider Ethereum ecosystem.
Here's a proposal from @SirSoth91 to join @Meta_Cartel in June.

3/ Organic Growth
Despite mapping out a Liquidity Incentive pool during the Aavenomics migration, Aave has never needed to dip into this reserve to sustain growth.
This shows that demand is 100% organic, rather than chasing an opportunity to farm $AAVE https://docs.aave.com/aavenomics/incentives-policy-and-aave-reserve

Anyone who's been following Aave knows their marketing is the best in DeFi.
Despite being a leading financial primitive, Aave knows how to keep it lighthearted. https://twitter.com/AaveAave/status/1250792163555844098?s=20

5/ Ecosystem Ties
Aave underpins most DeFi composability today.
While @iearnfinance is the most notable, dozens of other projects rely on Aave as the primary source of yield today.
This trend will continue in 2021. https://twitter.com/StaniKulechov/status/1280500969986498561?s=20

6/ Fiat Onramps
Aave is the first major DeFi project to receive an EMI license for fiat onramps.
