Official Site® | Aave Wallet® | Getting™ Started

Welcome to the Official Site® guide for Getting™ Started with Aave Wallet®—your secure, non-custodial gateway to lending, borrowing, and managing crypto assets across multiple decentralized networks. Whether you're an experienced DeFi participant or brand new to the world of blockchain finance, Aave Wallet® provides a powerful, user-friendly interface to engage with decentralized money markets.

What Is Aave Wallet®?

Aave Wallet® is the digital interface for interacting with the Aave Protocol—a decentralized, open-source, non-custodial liquidity protocol that enables users to lend and borrow crypto assets without intermediaries. The wallet is typically non-custodial, meaning you retain complete control of your private keys and funds.

With Aave, users can:

  • ✅ Lend assets and earn passive income
  • ✅ Borrow assets using collateral
  • ✅ Choose between stable and variable interest rates
  • ✅ Participate in Aave governance using AAVE tokens

The Aave Wallet integrates seamlessly with Web3 wallets like MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, Trust Wallet, and Ledger.

Step 1: Visit the Official Site®

Begin by accessing the verified official site:

➡️ https://app.aave.com

Always double-check the URL to avoid phishing or malicious clones. Bookmark the site for easy and safe access in the future.

Step 2: Choose a Supported Wallet

The Aave platform is non-custodial and does not store your assets. To interact with the protocol, you’ll need a Web3-compatible wallet such as:

  • 🔐 MetaMask
  • 🔐 WalletConnect (Trust Wallet, SafePal, etc.)
  • 🔐 Coinbase Wallet
  • 🔐 Ledger Hardware Wallet
  • 🔐 Trezor via third-party integrations

Download, install, and set up your wallet. Be sure to:

  • Write down your 12/24-word recovery phrase
  • Store it in a safe, offline location
  • Never share your private key or seed phrase

Step 3: Fund Your Wallet

To lend or borrow on Aave, you need supported crypto tokens and a small amount of ETH, MATIC, or AVAX for network fees (depending on the blockchain you're using).

You can:

  • Buy assets from exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, or Kraken
  • Withdraw funds to your Web3 wallet
  • Use fiat on-ramps integrated in wallets like MetaMask or Coinbase Wallet

Make sure you’re using the correct blockchain (e.g., Ethereum, Polygon, Optimism, or Avalanche) when sending funds.

Step 4: Connect Your Wallet to Aave

Once your wallet is set up and funded:

  1. Visit https://app.aave.com
  2. Click “Connect Wallet”
  3. Choose your wallet provider
  4. Authorize the connection from your wallet popup

Now, you’re ready to interact with the Aave protocol directly.

Step 5: Start Lending

Lending on Aave is easy and earns you passive yield:

  1. On the dashboard, select a supported asset (e.g., USDC, DAI, ETH)
  2. Click “Supply”
  3. Enter the amount you want to lend
  4. Confirm the transaction in your wallet

Once confirmed, you’ll receive aTokens (e.g., aUSDC) which represent your deposit plus interest earned. Interest accrues automatically and can be tracked in real-time.

Step 6: Borrow Against Your Collateral

If you’ve supplied assets, you can also borrow other tokens:

  1. Select a token to borrow
  2. Choose a stable or variable interest rate
  3. Enter the desired amount (within your borrowing limit)
  4. Confirm the transaction in your wallet

You’ll need to monitor your health factor—if it drops too low, your collateral may be liquidated. Aave provides tools to help manage this risk.

  • 🛡️ Flash Loans – Instant uncollateralized loans for developers
  • ⚙️ Rate Switching – Toggle between stable and variable interest rates
