Aave serves as an open-source and non-custodial liquidity protocol, enabling users to earn interest on their deposits and borrow various assets. Functioning as a decentralized money market, Aave allows individuals to engage either as depositors, who supply liquidity in exchange for passive income, or as borrowers, who can access loans through either overcollateralized or undercollateralized methods. Security remains paramount for Aave, prompting ongoing audits and enhancements to the protocol, with funds securely held in a non-custodial smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain. Users retain full control over their wallets, and the system is designed to be transparent and auditable through code. To maintain the highest security standards, Aave Protocol has undergone rigorous audits conducted by reputable firms such as Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, ConsenSys Diligence, Certik, PeckShield, and Certora, with all audit reports made publicly accessible for scrutiny. The commitment to safety and transparency ensures that users can confidently participate in the Aave ecosystem.
