What is the fee structure for using Aave?

Aave's fee structure primarily consists of two main components: borrowing fees and a transaction fee. When a user borrows assets from the protocol, they are responsible for paying a borrowing interest rate. This interest rate can vary based on several factors, including the type of asset being borrowed, market conditions, and whether the interest rate is fixed or variable. The interest rates are determined by supply and demand dynamics within the Aave ecosystem, meaning they can change over time. In addition to borrowing fees, when using Aave, users may incur transaction fees associated with the Ethereum network or other applicable blockchain networks where Aave operates. These fees are generally paid in the native cryptocurrency of the respective blockchain, for example, Ether for transactions on the Ethereum network. It is important to note that these network fees are not controlled by Aave. Furthermore, while Aave does not charge direct fees for lending assets, liquidity providers earn interest from borrowers and may sometimes share a percentage of this with the platform as part of its sustainability model.
