Decentralized trading protocol on Binance Smart Chain

Aave Companies is an early pioneer of decentralized finance and web3 applications. Aave builds smart contract-enabled protocols, applications and tools that incorporate decentralized blockchain technologies and token-based economies. The Aave Companies focuses on developing technology based on blockchain with the purpose of increasing access to financial and social markets, empowering people and creating human connection. Aave is best known for creating the Aave Protocol, one of the most widely used decentralized liquidity protocols in the world. The protocol is fully governed by the Aave Community of AAVE token holders. The protocol allows users to supply and borrow cryptographic assets without third-party intermediaries. In October 2021, the Aave Protocol became one of the largest DeFi protocols with $19.28B in total value locked (TVL), an established metric used in DeFi, and a market size of $31.58B, including both supplied and borrowed assets. In 2022, Aave introduced a blockchain-based social media protocol, Lens Protocol. Lens is an open-source decentralized social media tech stack that enables users to own and manage their data and social profile, and developers to create social media applications and services.

Celo is an open platform 
that makes financial tools accessible to anyone with a mobile phone. Our mission is to build a monetary system that creates the conditions of prosperity for all. We are a decentralized community of creators -- developers, designers, dreamers, doers -- who are motivated by the power of accessible financial tools to make the world a better place. Globally, about one in every three adults do not have a bank account. As a simple consequence of this, they don’t have a straightforward means of receiving or storing value across distance, and therefore are excluded from a large part of the global economy. We believe that to create a truly inclusive financial system, we must start by building an infrastructure to serve those excluded from the current system. Further, we believe that if we are able do so, the resulting system will be more useful, more resilient, more full-featured, and more accessible for everybody.
