AAVE is the native token of the Aave lending protocol (the “Aave Protocol”). The Aave Protocol is an open-source lending protocol running on the Ethereum blockchain that enables users to lend and borrow crypto assets. Aave is a Switzerland-based for-profit company originally founded in 2017 by Stani Kulechov under the name ETHLend.
The Aave Protocol facilitates lending pools (also known as liquidity pools) which allow users to lend or borrow different crypto assets. When users lend, they earn interest; when they borrow, they pay interest. Similar to other decentralized finance systems hosted on the Ethereum blockchain, borrowers on the Aave Protocol must post collateral before they can borrow.
Users lend by depositing crypto assets into the liquidity pools. The funds underlying these pools are allocated via smart contract to borrowers. Users who deposit their crypto assets receive new aTokens. aTokens allow users to earn interest. The amount of interest earned on the aTokens depends on how much liquidity is available in a given lending pool.
The Aave Protocol has a safety module denominated in AAVE which serves as a backstop for insolvency risk. The safety module works by incentivizing investors to purchase and stake AAVE within an insurance pool, allowing them to earn further AAVE. If a market on the Aave Protocol reaches a state where its liabilities are greater than its assets, then the AAVE safety module is intended to cover the shortfall.
AAVE has are several features that make it attractive. When used to post collateral, AAVE users receive increased borrowing limits and reduced fees. In addition, AAVE borrowers can take out a loan denominated in the token without being charged a fee. Holders of AAVE are also able to participate in the governance and development of the Aave Protocol, as AAVE is used to vote and decide on the outcome of proposals to improve the Aave Protocol.
