History of Aave

Stani Kulechov, the founder of the firm ETHlend that entered the blockchain and crypto market in 2017 developed the Aave DeFi protocol. To further utilize the network, Kulechov took out the protocol's technical obstacles so other users can make improvements on it. During a crowd sale following its launch in 2017, Aave collected more than $16 million.

Known as ETHlend since 2017, it became Aave in April 2019 after undergoing a redesign and rebranding.

Coined from the Finnish word "Aave" which means "ghost", Aave is a form of Decentralized Finance (DeFi) protocol designed on the Ethereum blockchain.

Formerly known as ETHlend, it was originally developed as some kind of a marketplace where lenders and borrowers can negotiate transactions and terms without having to deal with a third party.

Think of a message board but it’s all about available loans.

Then came its improved version, the Aave that came with additional features that revolutionized the DeFi market.

How Does Aave Work?

By cutting off third-party involvement in lending and borrowing cryptocurrencies, Aave allows users to transact in a decentralized and trustless way.

To put it directly, in Aave, users won't have to deal with AML (Anti-Money Laundering) documentation, or the Know Your Customer (KYC) provisions in traditional banking practices.

In simpler explanation, lenders using the Aave network must deposit their funds in what is called a "liquidity pool". This pool is where borrowers can borrow fund as much as they want. To borrow funds from the pool, users selects an amount of collateral higher than the withdrawn amount (based on the US$).

When the collateral drops below the required collateralization threshold, the Aave system will automatically place it for liquidation. Users can have the choice to buy these funds at a lower value. This method controls the liquidity pool to forever remain positive.

Aave has also laid out the concept of ‘liquidity pool reserve fund”. This is when each pool set aside a tiny percentage of the asset to function as reserves to combat occurrences of volatility in the network or protocol.

This process is made possible by Aave creating a method that relies on lending pools and collateralized loans to create a smooth process for its users.

Remember: Lenders can have the freedom to withdraw all their funds at all times.

Aave aTokens

When a user deposits on Aave, they automatically receive an aToken. Users receive the same amount of aToken as their deposited fund. The aTokens plays a vital role in the Aave network as they allow users to earn interests from their lending activities.

How Does Aave Crypto Work?

AAVE is the local token of the Aave lending network and protocol. AAVE has a total supply of 16 million tokens.

The main use of AAVE is for Aave protocol governance as it ensures a decentralized management of the platform. It empowers holders with a chance to make a decision on managing the platform, make improvements, and allocate funds.

Other than governance use, AAVE can also be staked within the Aave platform in exchange for staking rewards.

Is Investing on AAVE a Good Idea?

Remember, the cryptocurrency market is a volatile one. Meaning, prices of cryptos can go down but it can also experience extreme highs. Invest at your own risk.

Good thing with AAVE however, is it is seen as a pioneering DeFi force in the crypto and blockchain market. When compared with other DeFi protocols, the Aave network appears way ahead.
