#OnChainLendingSurge

Aave, a prominent decentralized finance (DeFi) platform, has been instrumental in this growth. As of August 2024, Aave reached approximately 40,000 active weekly borrowers, setting a new record. This surge is largely attributed to the emergence of new lending markets, including Base and Scroll, which have driven growth on the platform.

Aave operates across multiple blockchain networks, offering overcollateralized loans through automated smart contracts. With a total value locked (TVL) of around $11.85 billion, Aave ranks as the third-largest DeFi protocol.
