Background

What is Aave?

By PlatformCrypto.eu editorial team · checked on

A bank decides who may borrow and on what terms. On Aave (opens in a new tab), those rules are written into smart contracts: people deposit crypto into shared pools to earn interest, while others borrow from the same pools against collateral, and everyone acts from a wallet they control. The protocol made its debut in 2020, created by the team that had previously built ETHLend. Aave Labs calls itself the original author of the code.

Deposits come back as aTokens, such as aUSDC, which accrue interest automatically. Rates move with the utilisation rate, the part of a pool that is currently lent out. Every loan is overcollateralised, so a borrower locks up more value than they take out. Should that collateral fall below its minimum threshold, a liquidator repays part of the loan and receives collateral worth more than the sum repaid. Besides Ethereum, the contracts run on several other networks, Arbitrum, Base and Avalanche among them.

AAVE, the governance token, arrived in 2020 to replace LEND. AIP-1, the first Aave Improvement Proposal, switched on a contract that exchanged 100 LEND for each AAVE, and the supply was set at 16 million. The same proposal launched the Safety Module, where holders can stake AAVE for rewards. Staked AAVE was meant as a reserve to absorb a shortfall. That job is moving to Umbrella, in which depositors stake their aTokens, and each stake only covers bad debt in that asset on that network.

Europe has a regulated link to the project too. In November 2025 the Central Bank of Ireland authorised Push Virtual Assets Ireland, a subsidiary of Aave Labs, as a crypto-asset service provider under MiCA. Aave Labs stresses that the licence applies solely to Push's on- and off-ramps between fiat money and stablecoins, and that the protocol remains decentralised and permissionless.

Borrowers can lose collateral in a liquidation, audits cannot rule out a flaw in the contracts, and the AAVE price can tumble within days.

Networks

Which network is Aave on?

Aave does not run its own blockchain: AAVE is a token on Ethereum, using the ERC-20 standard. Fees on that network are paid in ETH, so a wallet holding only AAVE cannot move it.

Withdrawing to your own wallet

The networks each platform lets you withdraw this coin on. Pick one that your wallet supports as well.

Taken from the platforms' public lists on 16 October 2026. For Coinbase we use the Coinbase Exchange list. Check the platform's app before you withdraw, as a network can be paused at short notice.

Keep your AAVE in your own wallet

These wallets hold AAVE themselves. Buy on a platform first, then move your AAVE to the wallet over a network both of them support.

In four steps

How to buy Aave

  1. Choose a platform

    At the top you can see where your amount buys the most AAVE, with every fee included.

  2. Open an account

    Sign up and verify your identity. Licensed platforms are required to check who you are; it usually takes a few minutes.

  3. Add euros

    For example by SEPA bank transfer or by card. Check the deposit fee on the platform first: it differs per method.

  4. Buy AAVE

    Enter the amount and confirm. Before you do, check the fee and the price the platform shows you.

Questions about Aave

How much is 1 Aave worth right now?

On 20 October 2026 at 21:29 CEST, 1 AAVE was worth €133.60 on average: the median mid-market price on 4 platforms. The price changes all the time, and what you pay on a platform also depends on its fees.

Who is behind Aave?

Two groups play a part. Aave Labs, with Stani Kulechov as chief executive, wrote the original code and still builds products around it. Decisions about the protocol itself belong to the community of AAVE holders, who submit proposals, debate them, vote and oversee how the approved changes are carried out on-chain.

What do you need to borrow on Aave?

A self-custodial wallet and collateral. You first supply assets, and only then can you borrow against them, up to a limit set by each asset's loan-to-value ratio. The collateral has to be worth more than the loan and stays locked until the debt and the interest on it are repaid in full. If its value drops below the minimum threshold, a liquidator can settle part of your debt and take a slice of your collateral in return.

What was LEND, and how many AAVE tokens exist?

LEND was the project's earlier token. Under AIP-1 in 2020, LEND holders could swap 100 LEND for every AAVE through a migration contract. The AAVE contract set aside 13 million tokens for that swap and 3 million for safety and ecosystem incentives, which brings the total to 16 million. That total had not changed when we checked the token contract on 20 October 2026.

What is stkAAVE?

It is the token you receive when you stake AAVE in the Safety Module, which pays rewards in AAVE. The module was introduced as an extra line of defence for depositors in case of a shortfall. Umbrella, its successor, covers bad debt with staked aTokens instead, and Aave's documentation says slashing of stkAAVE will be disabled once Umbrella reaches sufficient scale. Unstaking is not instant: a cooldown applies first.

Which network do platforms use when you withdraw AAVE?

AAVE is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum. Kraken, Coinbase, Bitpanda, OKX and Bitstamp, the platforms in our comparison that sell AAVE for euros, list Ethereum as the network for AAVE withdrawals. Send it to an address in a wallet that supports Ethereum tokens.

Is there a MiCA white paper for AAVE?

Not yet in ESMA's interim MiCA register: it listed no white paper for AAVE when we checked on 20 October 2026. For crypto-assets that were already admitted to trading before 30 December 2024, MiCA gives the operators of trading platforms until 31 December 2027 to make sure a white paper is drawn up, notified and published where the regulation requires one.
