Key characteristics

Aave is a decentralized non-custodial liquidity protocol, making it the most used protocol for stablecoin lending and borrowing across DeFi. The protocol's smart contracts have undergone audits and formal verification by third parties, ensuring a level of security and trust. AAVE tokens are utilized for governance within the Aave Protocol and can be staked in the protocol's Safety Module to provide a backstop during shortfall events, earning incentives in the process.

Risks

Digital asset prices can be volatile and can change materially. Users should verify the contract address and network before transferring assets. Self-custody requires secure private-key and recovery-phrase handling. Centralized platforms can involve operational, custody, and counterparty risk. Availability and regulatory treatment can vary by jurisdiction. Transaction finality and reversibility can differ by network.

Transfer and custody notes

Verify the asset name, network, and any supplied contract details before transferring. Verify destination address and network before sending assets. Review the custody method, including self-custody versus a third-party platform. Understand that transfers may be irreversible and that CoinLoom does not confirm exchange availability.
