What are the core use cases of AAVE for advanced DeFi users?

[cryptohog]

AAVE isn’t just a governance token—it’s a gateway to sophisticated DeFi strategies. Advanced users leverage AAVE to:

Governance: Vote on protocol changes, risk parameters, and new asset listings.

Staking: Lock AAVE in the Safety Module to earn rewards while securing the protocol against shortfalls.

Collateralization: Use AAVE as collateral to borrow other assets on the platform, enabling complex yield strategies or leveraged positions.

Liquidity Mining: Participate in incentives on supported markets to maximize returns.

Pro tip: Combining AAVE staking with borrowing/lending positions can optimize risk-adjusted yields, but careful attention to liquidation thresholds is essential.
