Aave will be secured by a Safety Module (SM), a staking mechanism for AAVE tokens to act as insurance against Shortfall Events. Stakers earn AAVE as Safety Incentives (SI) along with a percentage of protocol fees. [https://docs.aave.com/aavenomics/flashpaper#aave-staking]

This project was launched in November 2017 as a P2P lending platform called ETHLend and later renamed Aave in September 2018.
This project was launched in November 2017 as a P2P lending platform called ETHLend and later renamed Aave in September 2018.


The platform was created to allow lending in a decentralized manner between two users. Therefore, a peer-to-peer (P2P) model was used that allowed the exchange of information and money directly between users.

V3 is mostly about two things: risk awareness/mitigation, and capital efficiency

As a result, V3 introduces “isolated markets” – this allows Aave governance to list assets as collateral faster, but only as a single source of collateral, and not as a bundle. Additionally, isolated markets will have supply caps controlled by the DAO governance and as that asset matures they can increase the ceilings until eventually turning off the isolation model or the particular asset. So it kind of allows asset scalability
