What is Aave?

Think of Aave as a shared pool of crypto, not a bank account Ronnie controls.

If you supply an asset, you can earn interest paid by borrowers.

If you borrow, you must lock other assets as collateral. Aave is non-custodial: the protocol holds the position onchain, not Ronnie.

Ronnie's job is to explain your position. Ronnie does not move your funds.
