ZeroLend is a decentralized lending protocol forked from Aave V3, deployed on zkSync and multiple ZK Layer 2 networks, enabling users to supply assets for yield or borrow against collateral with money market mechanics. ZeroLend targets ZK rollup ecosystems where Aave has limited or no official deployment, positioning itself as the native lending layer for the ZK ecosystem.

How It Works
ZeroLend inherits Aave V3’s core mechanics:
- Supply: Deposit assets to earn interest from borrowers
- Borrow: Borrow against collateral at variable or stable rates
- Liquidation: Under-collateralized positions are liquidated by bots
- E-mode: Correlated asset pairs (e.g., ETH/stETH) get higher LTV
ZeroLend adds:
- veZERO: Lock ZERO for veZERO governance rights directing ZERO emissions to markets
- Multi-chain: Deployed on zkSync Era, Linea, Blast, Manta, Ethereum mainnet
ZERO Token
100 billion total supply with emissions directed by veZERO holders (similar to Aerodrome’s ve-model). Large total supply means individual tokens are fractions of a cent at launch.
Social Media Sentiment
ZeroLend is discussed in zkSync ecosystem communities and defi lending circles on X/Twitter. Its positioning as the “Aave of zkSync” generates comparisons to Aave itself. The ZERO token airdrop (linked to zkSync activity) attracted attention during the broader ZK ecosystem narrative in 2024. Critics note massive token supply (100 billion) creates significant sell pressure from emissions.
