Aave

Overview

Aave on Avalanche is a decentralized, non-custodial lending protocol. Depositors supply liquidity to earn interest, while borrowers take overcollateralized loans or flash loans (uncollateralized, single-transaction loans). Running on C-Chain means faster confirmations and lower fees than Ethereum mainnet.
