AAVE - The Road To $3 Billion - DEFI Explained

So what is Aave all about? How was it able to go from $0 to $3B in total value locked in less than a year? And what’s the use case for the AAVE token? You’ll find answers to these questions in this video.
The initial version of Aave - which is currently one of the most popular lending protocols in decentralized finance - came into existence in 2017. Before the rebranding that happened later in September 2018, the project was known as ETHLend.
ETHLend was started in Finland by Stani Kulechov. Stani, a law degree graduate, discovered Ethereum, realised the power of smart contracts and decided to build a peer-to-peer lending protocol.

Awesome video. Very informative. I’d love to see a video explaining Polkadot / Parachains / Bridges. I’m not particularly bullish on it, however I’d love to be better informed 👍🏼

[@stressrelief9597]

You should make video for Cream Finance too! Really great project in Borrowing protocols and i can see this ahead of any other. Also they joined with YFI which is amazing, and with that you can lend without collaterall which is huge boost for this..

[@regimantasruksa9821]

Would be awesome to see Barn Bridge project explained too!

[@mr.okchannel1541]

1 of the reason people still think crypto is scam is because there is too much dream seller over there We need more educational video like this about the usage of crypto currency instead of promoting price going to the moon

[@jamaalgill2740]

Sir, I've seen every Crypto KZbinr and you are easily the best at dumbing down all of these projects and making them digestible to all people. Please don't stop. You're doing amazingly 🙏🏾

The incentives on the AAVE Security Module really should be higher. Great vid. Looking forward to another explaining some of the newer use-cases.

[@Cabral3v]

[@dr.rodrigosegura9121]

Thank u for all ur informative videos! A video explaining what gas is, why its price fluctuates so much, and a bit about its unit would be great!

[@MrMadnelsen]

LOVE your videos man! And YES another video for the V2! I think this would also help many in better understanding new projects which leverage AAVE for new use cases. With so many new projects launching every week, a chance for better evaluation is worth a LOT :)

If AAVE has the option to lend and trade collateral layer 2, I think it’ll be the biggest defi project out there.

[@lasserafen5848]

Nice video, really good explanation. Can you see how HEX and AAVE will be able to benefit from each other, in HEX you stake for several years, but can you use AAVE to get a loan, against your HEX stakes?

[@macapaka25]

what would be the best way to invest in AAVE ,ie which exchange? buy from fiat currency or exchange from a different crypto if so which one ?

[@OLATUNJISODEEQ]

Nice talk

[@Tulder]

Hell yeah! Perkele! AAVE going up

[@manifestationmaster1111]

what does layer two mean and what would that mean for getting coins on the platform, because when I try to get my AAVE from Coinbase wallet to AAVE platform the miner fee is big?

[@Ryan-gt6kx]

Great video as always. But I also wished you got more into the "tokenomics" of Aave.

[@mastersfitness8470]

Appreciate the video. Well done. I can buy aave on coinbase but I’m not sure how to collect interest on it. Could you please make a video with examples with specific wallets, sites, etc. E.g. investor buys aave on [insert site/exchange here] and has the option of collecting [insert interest rate here] on their aave or they can...

[@wabram811]

Really great content, could be made even better with more writing of key points and terminology

[@crziq7884]

You should make a follow up video to your two generals video (Byzantine generals problem)

[@akif409]

You should make a video for sharedStake, Lido and Stkr eth2 staking.

[@Mrbeastifed]

I would love to see a compare and contrast of the three. With Lido, there needs to be a way to increase the yield for all because right now it is a constant victim of growth. The more ETH added the lower the yield is until that ETH is matched with a validator.

[@luisescobar2367]

I have no doubt this will be a top 10 coin in the next 3 months. Like this message when I’m right.

[@ShahbazAKhan]

hey can you please explain what is debt tokenization in V2?

[@janfm8670]

Thank for the great Video. Have you covered how to invest in a crypto application company like Aave or compound? Would be very interested to see where current investment possiblities are.

[@SimonBotswana11]

Please post more about aave

[@jerrywang3225]

Aave could easily be a 4 digit dollar coin in this bull run.

[@sahali14]

Everything "could"

[@kossalhean]

Great vid. Well explained and presented. What is the minimum required to stake AAVE? Cheers

[@Finematics]

I don't think there is any minimum, but of course you have to consider the gas cost - so it may not be profitable for a very small amount.

[@xingchijin5709]

I would love to see a video on loans to institutes and exchanges

This was very well explained. Something I don't understand and would appreciate your presentation on is Rootkit.finance ... It's so confusing...

[@eyscreamfactory]

Make a video on the credit part please

[@jstdun]

Aave is a game changer

[@sciencetrain3r]

Two major questions on how this works. Question one: collateralized loan. If a burrower has to put in 150% of their collateral to borrow in the first place, why would they? They're paying interest and losing out interest/investment income on the 50% they don't need. Question two: uncollateralized loans. I get that the "unwinding" of the transaction benefits the lender. But what about the tokens after they're lent AND spent? In other words, lets say I burrow 100 AAVE. I spend them all something that I destroy (i.e. food, lobster, caviar, etc.). The borrower can't pay back, so the token transaction is unwound to protect the burrower. But what about all of the merchants that received the AAVE coins? What protects them?
