How to earn on AAVE

Single-asset options (lending, staking, savings vaults) pay interest without exposing you to another token; your AAVE balance grows and you can withdraw the same asset. Liquidity pairs earn trading fees plus rewards but hold AAVE together with a second asset, so the value moves with both prices (impermanent loss). The “Single” chip marks the first kind.

Each row links to the protocol’s own deposit page. Check the chain first: the same protocol can pay different rates on Ethereum, Base or Arbitrum, and moving funds costs a bridge fee (see bridges). Rates refresh hourly; the 30-day average shows whether today’s number is typical.
