What is Aave Lending V2?
Aave is a decentralized non-custodial liquidity market protocol where you can participate as depositors or borrowers. As a depositor, you can earn a passive income by providing liquidity to the market. On the other hand, you can borrow assets from the liquidity pool as well with enough collateral from your deposited assets.
With DeFi Earn integration, we handle the deposit and withdrawal process with Aave Lending V2 natively on the Onchain app, hence you don’t have to worry about dealing with smart contract calls and we simplify the concept of aTokens and display the accrued interest you’re earning overtime -
When your tokens are deposited to the Aave Lending V2 protocol via DeFi Earn, you are transferring them to the Aave smart contract. In exchange, you get the corresponding aTokens which represent the claim to your lent assets.
When you decide to withdraw your deposited assets, extra funds earned through the aTokens will be credited to your account. For example, depositing 1 DAI will give you 1 aDAI, which will slowly grow in balance as time goes on. When you withdraw, that extra balance will be credited to you.

Although it's unlikely, there is a possibility you may lose your staked assets or rewards in case of a network or validator failure. While we've taken measures to reduce these risks, losses incurred as a result of slashing or other on-chain contract security are outside of our control and we shall not have any liability or be responsible for any damages or liabilities suffered from slashing penalties.
