Aave on Optimism (AAVE)

Aave (AAVE) is the governance and safety token of Aave, the decentralized liquidity protocol where lenders and borrowers meet in on-chain markets. AAVE holders vote on protocol parameters and back the system's safety module, making it one of the largest DeFi governance assets. On U.CASH, AAVE swaps non-custodial on the DEX across every chain it deploys on. On Optimism, AAVE moves as a ERC-20 token: transfers pay Optimism network fees in ETH and settle with the network's own finality. Every U.CASH rail that runs on Optimism, from checkout to swap, supports AAVE natively on this chain.
