Decentralized Lending Platforms
Stable allows you to earn high yield by supporting your ability to deposit your funds on
Aave. Aave is the largest decentralized lending platform that enables users to lend or borrow stablecoins on blockchain networks without the need for intermediaries like banks. Over $18B of assets are currently deposited on Aave, and it is trusted by leading institutions around the world including JPMorgan Chase, the Monetary Authority of Singapore, and the Central Bank of Brazil.
Variable Interest Rates
Loans on Aave earn interest on your deposit at rates often higher than traditional savings accounts. Interest rates on Aave are variable, meaning the rates constantly change based on supply and demand of borrowing and lending activity. There are no minimum deposit amounts and you may withdraw your funds from the platform at any time.
Over-Collateralized Loans
Loans on Aave are over-collateralized, which means that the borrowers must deposit collateral worth more than the amount they want to borrow. For example - for a loan of $100 the borrower must deposit $125 (or frequently even more) worth of assets to the platform as collateral. Only approved assets Aave determines have sufficient liquidity and stability can be used as collateral - including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Stablecoins.
This over-collateralization is important because it protects lenders from default risk. If the borrower does not repay the loan, the collateral is used to pay back the lender. Similarly, if the value of the collateral drops below a certain threshold, the borrower’s collateral is automatically sold by the platform to repay the loan, ensuring Stable user’s funds are not impacted.
