Aave

Part II: Pool Contract

The set of Aave contracts deployed for a given chain is known as a “market”. Each chain typically has a main market for users, though other markets may be deployed on that chain with different features.

The largest market is on Ethereum mainnet (chain ID 1), accessible via the Aave front-end by going to the Markets tab and choosing “Core” from the drop-down menu.

Many assets are enabled for this market, including the familiar Wrapped ETH, Tether USD, and USD Coin tokens.

We will use this market for the remainder of our study. Be sure you connect to an appropriate RPC and use Etherscan (or equivalent) as your block explorer.

It’s nice to see some data through the front-end, but our primary focus is on the contracts.
