Aave
Aave v3Aave Protocol
Decentralised lending market — the largest by TVL — with stablecoin supply and borrow markets across 12+ chains.
Aave is a non-custodial Lending market protocol where users supply assets to earn the variable supply rate and borrow against collateral at the variable borrow rate. The v3 codebase introduced isolation mode, efficiency mode, and supply / borrow caps. StableLens indexes Aave v3 markets on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, and Polygon as a single canonical source per chain.
