There is a growing narrative within the crypto community that DeFi is on the rise again as protocols show strong signs of recovery. 
Arthur Cheong founder of Defiance Capital<a href="https://x.com/Arthur_0x/status/1823779058842525864" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> commented</a> on the save growth on X and said that the mismatch between growth and valuation is where you get the best R/R for investing. 
He also said that people are still asking where is the 10x growth of DeFi coming from when we already witnessed a 3x growth in user metrics of Aave on year to year basis, with the bulk of the growth coming from Q2 till now which was a brutal correction or mini bear market. 
<h2 id="what-is-aave">What is Aave?</h2> 
Aave is a decentralized crypto platform allowing users to borrow and lend crypto. Aave is using smart contracts to automate the process and it has preset rules on the following: 
<ul> 
 <li>How funds are distributed</li> 
 <li>How collateral is handled</li> 
 <li>How fees are assessed</li> 
</ul> 
Aave is specialized in overcollateralized loans which means that users will need to deposit crypto worth more than the amount they wish to borrow. 
This protects users from losing money due to loan defaults and allows the Aave protocol to liquidate the collateral if its value drops too much. 
<a href="https://crypto.ro/en/cryptocurrencies/aave/">AAVE</a> is an Ethereum token that powers Aave.
