Overview of the latest Aave Dapp integration, including a Desktop and Mobile guide

Dear Rivexians!

We are thrilled to announce that we have integrated Aave in the RX wallet — this allows you to access the Aave money markets from directly within RX Desktop wallet! Deposit and earn interest on your idle assets 💰

Let's dive right in!

aTokens Integration — Watching your balance grow by the minute!

aTokens are Aave interest-bearing tokens. The aTokens are pegged 1:1 to the value of the underlying asset that is deposited in Aave protocol. aTokens, such as aDai, can be freely stored, transferred, and traded.

RX Wallet is able to store ERC-20 tokens. Therefore RX Wallet users may choose to translate their ERC-20 tokens into aTokens and earn interest subject to Aave lending pairs. Some features of the aTokens include:

  • 1 to 1 Ratio: aTokens are pegged 1:1 to the value of the underlying asset that is deposited in Aave protocol.
  • Redirecting the Interest: The interest earned on aTokens can be redirected at any time to any public address, this can be managed using external platforms by exporting your private key.
  • Earn interest: Earn interest on assets such as aDai, aUSDC, and aUSDT etc.
