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 👍🏼

[@hiddenfactstoday]

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!

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

It becomes bigger than Maker. Maker Token has 7 times more value (1.355 USD per Token in 21.01.2021). It is likely to see AAVE‘s Token with 10x more value next year same time. Aavee is cool and grows fast and the whole Defi gonna grow insanely fast this year.

4:34. Why should i pay ETH as a collateral, in order to borrow DAI with interest, when i could go to any crypto exchange and change it from ETH to DAI directly?

[@Finematics]

Good question. Here's the answer: twitter.com/finematics/status/1358468168025600002

[@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.

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.

[@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?

[@consciouscrypto3090]

I wish I hadn't sold this when I'd gotten it for $1.60 ( $0.16 before the 100:1 exchange). I wound up buying it back at more like $90. It was years in between though, with nothing happening. I'm glad they pivoted.
