About
Aave is the largest decentralized lending protocol with 10 billion USD+ TVL across 14 networks including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Polygon, and Avalanche. Users can deposit assets to earn variable or stable interest rates, or borrow against collateral. Aave pioneered flash loans — uncollateralized loans repaid within one transaction. The protocol also issues the GHO stablecoin. AAVE token holders participate in governance and can stake for safety module rewards.
