Superlend Review 2026: Etherlink Aave Fork and Yield Dashboard

Superlend is a lending and yield dashboard with its own Aave V3 fork market on Etherlink. The market is tiny by TVL, so treat it as early-stage.

Our verdict on Superlend

5.8/10

Superlend suits DeFi users who want one dashboard to compare lending rates across chains, or who want to try an Aave V3 style market on Etherlink. Its strengths are the proven Aave codebase and the aggregation and vault tools. The main caveat is scale: TVL is only a few thousand dollars, the team and fees are not published, and some features are still marked as coming soon. Check the audit page and start small.

What is Superlend?

Superlend describes itself as a unified DeFi lending and yield platform. Users can find yield and borrow rates, manage positions across several lending protocols, and track everything in one dashboard.

Its core product is a money market on Etherlink, a fork of Aave V3 that the documentation describes as approved by AaveDAO. The platform also offers automated stablecoin and looping vaults. It was listed on DeFi tracking in October 2024.

Adoption is small. The tracked TVL is around $6,000, up about 18.5% over seven days, which is a small base. The Superpoints rewards programme and a Risk Engine are marked as coming soon, and the platform has no token.

How Superlend works

Superlend's own market follows the pooled lending model of Aave V3. Lenders deposit assets into a shared pool and earn interest. Borrowers post collateral and draw liquidity from the pool, paying a variable rate. If a borrower's collateral value falls too far, the position can be liquidated.

On top of that, the platform offers vaults. These are automated strategies for stablecoins and looping, where a position is repeatedly borrowed against and re-supplied to boost yield. Looping can raise returns but also raises liquidation risk.

The Discover and Portfolio tools work as an aggregation layer. They compare rates across protocols and chains and show a user's positions in one place, so the user does not have to check each protocol separately.

Pros and cons

What we like

  • Built on the Aave V3 codebase, which is widely used and well studied
  • Etherlink market described as approved by AaveDAO
  • One dashboard to compare rates and track positions across many protocols and chains
  • Automated vaults for users who do not want to manage positions actively
  • Documentation includes a security section with audits and a risk framework

Watch out for

  • Very small TVL of roughly $6,000 on the tracked Etherlink market, so liquidity is thin
  • No third-party audits are listed in the tracked data, though the documentation has an audits page whose contents are not summarised
  • Etherlink market is a fork of Aave V3, so it inherits Aave-style risks such as oracle failures and liquidation cascades
  • Vaults and looping strategies add smart-contract and strategy risk on top of base lending risk
  • Superpoints and the Risk Engine are marked as coming soon, so some advertised features are not yet live
  • No native token and no published team details in the sources reviewed

Superlend fees

Superlend does not publish a fee schedule in the material reviewed. As an Aave V3 fork, the Etherlink market likely follows the usual model, where borrowers pay a variable interest rate and suppliers earn a share of it, but exact reserve factors are not stated.

Network gas fees on Etherlink apply to each transaction. Vault fees, if any, would be shown in the vault pages of the app, and users should check them before depositing.

Is Superlend safe?

The Etherlink market is a fork of Aave V3, which reduces the amount of new code compared with a from-scratch protocol. The documentation states that Superlend undergoes independent security and economic reviews, and it has a dedicated audits page. The tracked data lists no audits, so users should check the page for report names, scope and dates.

Risks remain. These include smart-contract bugs, oracle problems, bad debt from fast price moves, and extra strategy risk in looping vaults. With very low TVL, liquidity may be thin. The team behind the project is not named in the material reviewed. This is not financial advice, and users should only deposit what they can afford to lose.

Who Superlend is for

Superlend is for DeFi users who already understand lending, collateral and liquidation, and who want to compare rates or use Etherlink. It is less suited to beginners or anyone who needs deep liquidity.
