Let's take a closer look at what Aave is and how to use it.
What is Aave?
Aave is a lending and borrowing protocol built on the Ethereum network, its governance token is the ERC-20 token AAVE. An ERC20 token is used for creating and issuing smart contracts on the Ethereum blockchain.On Aave, the process is completely decentralised. The protocol runs on the Ethereum blockchain and uses smart contracts that allow a distributed network of computers to manage these assets. This means users don't need to put their trust in a middleman to manage their funds.
Users who wish to lend out their assets put them in a pool from which others can borrow. Through these lending pools, users can borrow or lend 17 different cryptocurrencies, including MANA and ETH.
It's important to note that borrowing on Aave is always against collateral and not credit. In the crypto world, collateral is the cryptocurrency asset pledged as a guarantee that the loan will be repaid.
How does it work?
Put simply, Aave is a system of lending pools. Users can deposit the assets they want to lend, and these assets are then combined in a pool. Borrowers can draw from those pools if they want to take out a loan.The future
Aave is expanding into multiple chains, including Avalanche and Fantom,What are the risks?
However, as with any crypto project, it's not without risk. Aave's risk is if demand is not sustained on chains other than Ethereum, as the project is associated with the idea of "multi-chain."What is Cryptonary's take on Aave?
Aave is a solid contender in DeFi, and lending markets will likely remain one of the largest sectors in this system.As of now, the token's economic model indirectly benefits holders through revenue, as there is a buy-and-burn mechanism. It derives value from its limited supply. The system uses revenue to remove (burn) cryptocurrency from circulation. The constant burning of tokens reduces the supply and is expected to increase the price if demand remains the same.
There is currently no direct fee-sharing in play, however, this could be and will likely be voted into existence by token holders in the future.
We believe AAVE will remain in the Top 100 assets for multiple years to come.

Using Aave to borrow crypto and earn interest is simple. To get started, go to the app and connect your wallet. Then, select “deposit” and choose the asset you’re depositing. Then, decide the amount you wish to deposit and click continue.Once you’ve finished your deposit, you have 3 options:

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I get direct access to the Cryptonary team?
Yes. You will have 24/7 to the team that bought you BTC at $1,000, ETH at $70, and SOL at $10. Through our community chats, live Q&As, and member only channels, you can ask questions and interact directly with the team. Our team has over 50 years of combined experience which you can tap into every single day.
Can I trust Cryptonary's calls?
Yes. We've consistently identified winners across multiple cycles. Bitcoin under $1,000, Ethereum under $70, Solana under $10, WIF from $0.003 to $5, PopCat from $0.004 to $2, SPX blasting past $1.70, and our latest pick has already 200X'd since June 2025. Everything is timestamped and public record.
Do I need to be an experienced trader or investor to benefit?
No. When we founded Cryptonary in 2017 the market was new to everyone. We intentionally created content that was easy to understand and actionable. That foundational principle is the crux of Cryptonary. Taking complex ideas and opportunities and presenting them in a way a 10 year old could understand.
What makes Cryptonary different from free crypto content on YouTube or Twitter?
Signal vs noise. We filter out 99.9% of garbage projects, provide data backed analysis, and have a proven track record of finding winners. Not to mention since Cryptonary's inception in 2017 we have never taken investment, sponsorship or partnership. Compare this to pretty much everyone else, no track record, and a long list of partnerships that cloud judgements.
Why is there no trial or refund policy?
We share highly sensitive, time-critical research. Once it's out, it can't be "returned." That's why membership is annual only. Crypto success takes time and commitment. If someone is not willing to invest 12 months into their future, there is no place for them at Cryptonary.
How often is content updated?
Daily. We provide real-time updates, weekly reports, emergency alerts, and live Q&As when the markets move fast. In crypto, the market moves fast, in Cryptonary, we move faster.
