How Do I Lend Crypto on Aave?

There are a lot of ways to make money with cryptocurrency. Lending it out is one of them. If you have some cryptocurrency you aren't using for anything else at the moment, then you might as well lend it out and get paid interest for it. Finding borrowers and setting up the loan is pretty easy, too, when you use an online lending tool like Aave. This article will teach you about it.

Lending on Aave

Getting a crypto loan is pretty easy. You don't need to pass credit checks or do any other things traditional bank loans require. That's why lots of people use sites like Aave to get crypto loans. You don't need to go looking for lenders, Aave brings them to you.

You also aren't taking too much risk in lending your cryptocurrency on Aave. Borrowers secure their loans with collateral. That way, if your borrower ends up not being able to repay the loan, you get the collateral, so you don't lose any money.

To lend on Aave, you must have a web 3.0 digital wallet like Formatic, Torus, or Metamask.

How to Lend Cryptocurrency on Aave

To lend out your crypto on Aave, just follow these instructions:

  1. Go to the Aave Deposits page.
  2. Enter the required information to connect to your digital wallet when prompted.
  3. Locate the kind of crypto you are depositing from the list of cryptocurrencies.
  4. Enter the amount you want to deposit.
  5. Submit the transaction.
  6. Confirm the transaction

That's all there is to it. Once you deposit your money, it is automatically lent out to people looking to borrow that kind of cryptocurrency, unless you use the deposit as collateral for a crypto loan of your own.

After you make the deposit, aTokens will appear in your digital wallet. These aTokens, or Aave interest-bearing Tokens, will start building interest from your loan as it accrues. For example, if you deposit 12 USDT tokens, you will receive 12 aUSDT tokens, each of which receives interest from lending one of your USDT tokens.

Contacting Aave

If you have any questions, you can email an Aave customer service representative as there is no phone contact option.

Why does GetHuman Write How-to Guides for Aave Problems?

GetHuman has been working for over 10 years on sourcing information about big organizations like Comcast in order to help customers resolve customer service issues faster. We started with contact information and fastest ways to reach a human at big companies. Particularly ones with slow or complicated IVR or phone menu systems. Or companies that have self-serve help forums instead of a customer service department. From there, we realized that consumers still needed more detailed help solving the most common problems, so we expanded to this set of guides, which grows every day. And if you spot any issues with our What do I do if my Xfinity TV or internet is out? guide, please let us know by sending us feedback. We want to be as helpful as possible. If you appreciated this guide, please share it with your favorite people. Our free information and tools is powered by you, the customer. The more people that use it, the better it gets.
