Aave is a decentralized money market protocol built on Ethereum that enables users to lend and borrow a wide range of cryptocurrencies through automated liquidity pools. Depositors supply assets to these pools to earn interest, while borrowers draw from the same pools by locking up collateral, with interest rates determined algorithmically based on supply and demand. The protocol's native token, AAVE, functions primarily as a governance token, granting holders the ability to vote on proposals that shape the protocol's development, parameters, and treasury allocations. This includes decisions about which assets to support, risk parameters, and protocol upgrades, giving the community collective control over the platform's evolution. Aave is widely recognized as one of the foundational lending and borrowing protocols in decentralized finance, pioneering the pooled-liquidity model that has become standard across DeFi. Beyond Ethereum, the protocol has expanded to multiple blockchain networks, operating across a broad multi-chain ecosystem. It also plays a role in yield farming, as users can supply assets to earn both interest and additional token rewards, and participates in various DeFi-focused index products that track the sector's leading protocols.
