Aave Labs is winding down its Avara branding, folding its consumer-facing experiments back into the core Aave stack as the Family wallet sunsets and the Lens social protocol continues under new stewardship.
The underlying “Family Accounts” infrastructure will live on as embedded, white-labeled wallets powering the Aave App and Aave Pro. Lens, meanwhile, is no longer under Avara and is now stewarded by Mask. Aave Labs said the changes simplify branding, prioritize safety and usability, and aim to onboard users through focused financial workflows rather than open-ended wallet explorers.

Will users lose access to funds? No, users retain full control of assets and can access accounts and withdrawals with existing credentials. What happens to Lens after Avara ends? Lens is no longer under Avara and is now stewarded by Mask. Why is Aave Labs making this change? The company is prioritizing embedded, purpose-built decentralized finance experiences with simpler onboarding and stronger safety features.
