# Aave

## One line

Aave is a decentralized, non-custodial onchain lending protocol that allows users to supply assets to earn interest or borrow assets by providing overcollateralized collateral.

## What we do

Aave operates a set of open-source smart contracts deployed on public blockchains, enabling users to deposit crypto assets into liquidity pools and earn interest, or borrow against collateral they provide. The protocol offers multiple market configurations, from general-purpose lending to strategy-isolated pools for specific asset pairs. It also provides Aave Kit, an integration stack that lets developers and businesses build lending and yield products on top of the protocol.
