Aave Market

The app includes an Aave market where you can supply supported Aave tokens as collateral. That collateral does more than earn Aave's base supply yield — its borrowing power used to fund Atomica financing pools and earn bonus APY/APR on top.

The idea: boosted yield via credit delegation

Instead of supplying idle capital, you put your Aave collateral's borrowing power to work:

1. Supply a supported asset into the Aave market (visible in the app) — this is your collateral and earns Aave's base supply yield.

2. Borrow against it on Aave through credit delegation — your collateral's borrowing power is delegated so funds can be borrowed from Aave without withdrawing your deposit.

3. Supply the borrowed liquidity into Atomica financing pools.

4. Earn the spread. Atomica's supply yield is higher than the Aave borrow rate, so the difference is bonus APY/APR — earned on top of the base Aave supply yield you keep on your original collateral.

In short: borrow from Aave, supply to Atomica. You keep your Aave position and amplify your overall yield with the delegated credit.

Like any leveraged position, this carries risk. The borrowed amount accrues Aave interest, your Aave collateral remains subject to Aave's health-factor and liquidation rules, and Atomica financing carries credit risk (see Atomica Risks). The bonus only holds while Atomica yield exceeds the Aave borrow cost.

How delegation works

Credit delegation lets a supplier (the delegator) keep their collateral supplied while delegating borrowing power so liquidity can be borrowed and routed into Atomica. Mechanically it follows Aave's standard flow — approveDelegation on the relevant debt token, then a delegated borrow. See Credit Delegation for the full mechanics.

Relationship to Aave

Arenas is not partnered with, affiliated with, or endorsed by Aave. Aave v3 is a permissionless public good, and Arenas simply uses the publicly available liquidity and the standard credit-delegation interface that anyone can access. Aave is not the underlying engine of Arenas — Arenas’ only contract is the Credit Delegation Module (CDM), and credit itself runs on the external Atomica engine. Aave is one optional, external liquidity source.
