Aave

Aave is a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity protocol where users supply assets to earn yield and borrow against collateral. The protocol runs on Ethereum and many L2s (Arbitrum, Optimism, Base, Polygon, Avalanche, zkSync, Scroll, Metis) and exposes developer surfaces beyond on-chain contracts: official Aave V3 / V4 TypeScript SDKs, Aave Kit (React + TypeScript + GraphQL), and protocol subgraphs hosted on The Graph for indexed market, reserve, user, and historical data.

Aave publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include DeFi, Lending, Borrowing, Liquidity, and Protocol.

Aave’s developer surface includes documentation, GitHub presence, engineering blog, and 8 more developer resources.
