About Aave

Aave is a decentralized finance protocol for borrowing and lending, where users can participate as depositors or borrowers. Depositors provide liquidity to the market to earn a passive income, while borrowers are able to borrow in an overcollateralized (perpetually) or undercollateralized (one-block liquidity) fashion. AAVE is used as the center of gravity of Aave Protocol governance, allowing users to vote and decide on the outcome of Aave Improvement Proposals (AIPs). Additionally, AAVE can be staked within the protocol's Safety Module to provide security/insurance to the protocol and depositors. Stakers earn staking rewards and fees from the protocol.
