$AAVE 📜 The Path from "The Ghost" to a DeFi Giant
In 2017, Finnish law student Stani Kulechov launched ETHLend—a platform for P2P lending backed by ETH. The ICO raised $16.2 million.
In 2018, the project was rebranded as Aave (from Finnish—"The Ghost"). The team completely rebuilt the mechanics: instead of the tedious P2P search, they created liquidity pools.
The breakthrough came in 2020 with the launch of V1 and the invention of Flash Loans (instant loans without collateral). This ignited the DeFi summer of 2020, and the protocol’s TVL surged to $17 billion.
Today, Aave is a multi-chain ecosystem with its own stablecoin, GHO, and a V4 that’s in the works—designed to unify liquidity across all networks.
