Aave is a decentralised finance brand built around the Aave Protocol, an open-source, non-custodial liquidity protocol deployed on permissionless blockchains. Users can supply digital assets to markets and earn interest, or borrow by providing collateral worth more than the amount borrowed. Aave offers products including the Aave App, Aave Pro and Aave V3, with options for earning, borrowing and swapping.

Its markets support different strategies, from broad-purpose lending to collateral-isolated and strategy-specific arrangements. For developers and organisations, Aave Kit provides tools to integrate lending, yield and other onchain financial experiences. The brand also highlights stablecoin lending and borrowing, and offers resources such as documentation, governance information, security insights and support.

Aave says the protocol has operated uninterrupted for more than six years and has been independently audited. Its smart contracts are publicly accessible and auditable, while changes are governed onchain. Aave Labs provides information and resources about the protocol but states that it does not control or operate protocol deployments on blockchain networks
