Grvt, a privacy-focused decentralized exchange built on its own zero-knowledge appchain using the ZKsync stack, has announced an integration with decentralized lending protocol Aave that allows traders to earn yield on posted collateral while maintaining open trading positions. The company said the feature introduces “composable yield” to perpetual futures trading. Through the integration, eligible collateral deposited for margin trading can generate returns linked to Aave's lending markets without interrupting active positions. Grvt stated that, based on its internal review of publicly disclosed integrations as of February 2026, this is the first instance of a perpetual futures decentralized exchange embedding an external yield source directly into trading collateral while keeping trading live under normal operating conditions.
