X Layer is positioning itself more competitively in the crowded layer-2 space by integrating major DeFi platforms like Aave, along with Uniswap, Chainlink, and Stargate. The network focuses on fast and low-cost transactions, aiming to attract both developers and users.

With features like near-instant block times and extremely low fees, X Layer is building a foundation for scalable DeFi activity. The addition of established protocols like Aave could help it grow from a smaller ecosystem into a more significant player in the Ethereum layer-2 landscape.
