The Aave Protocol is a decentralized liquidity protocol. It allows users to unlock liquidity across various assets in a multi-pool approach. According to the recent announcement by Aave, the AMM Liquidity pool is allowing liquidity providers of Uniswap and Balancer to use their LP tokens as collateral in the Aave Protocol. Also, Balancer LP token holders will continue to earn BAL rewards each week.

Users can also provide liquidity and earn fees for doing so. By providing liquidity, users automatically obtain LP tokens from the AMM. In most cases, LP tokens represent the crypto assets the user deposited into the AMM. It also represents trading fees collected over time in the particular liquidity pool into which the user deposited assets.
