zkSync's team has already verified Aave's open-source smart contract and their possible integration to their rollup during proposal creation a rollup is one of the many methods to scale Ethereum bundling different transactions off-chain to ease congestion on the number two blockchain. 

According to Stani Kulechov Aave's founder and CEO Deploying Aave V3 on zkSync is essential to ensuring the safety and scalability of DeFi protocols which will result in long-term industry adoption "zkSync will further Aave's expansion cross-chain reinforcing Aave's place as the top liquidity market." 

Aave's total value locked (TVL) stands at $5.32 billion from DefitDefiLlama, and is the fourth largest DeFi protocol. 

zkSync has also onboarded DeFi behemoths including MakerDAO Uniswap and Sushiswap to its test in February 2022.
