Aave KNC (AKNC) is an interest-bearing token minted upon deposit into the Aave protocol and burned when redeemed. It is pegged 1:1 to the value of the underlying KNC (Kyber Network Crystal) tokens that are deposited.
Aave KNC operates on the Ethereum blockchain using the Aave protocol, which is a decentralized non-custodial liquidity protocol. This allows users to deposit KNC to mint AKNC, which earns interest while in the Aave system. The AKNC token is pegged to the value of KNC at a ratio of 1:1. When users choose to redeem their AKNC, it is burned, and they receive an equivalent amount of KNC.
Aave KNC has several potential use cases, primarily within the DeFi ecosystem:
Margin Trading and Lending: Users can borrow against their KNC holdings without selling them, using AKNC as collateral. This is useful for margin trading or for leveraging other investment opportunities.
KyberSwap Utility: KNC serves as a governance and utility token for KyberSwap, and supporting it on Aave provides additional utility for borrowing stablecoins.
DeFi Platforms: AKNC can be integrated into various DeFi platforms, enhancing liquidity and enabling diverse financial activities.
Aave was initially founded as ETHLend in 2017 by Stani Kulechov before rebranding to Aave in 2018 to adopt a lending pool model. As part of Aave's ongoing development, the protocol steadily expanded its offerings and capabilities, launching various products like the Aave Protocol in 2020. The introduction of KNC into Aave’s ecosystem in 2023 was part of a collaboration between Aave and Kyber Network to integrate KNC into Aave V3, thereby increasing its utility and providing additional liquidity options for token holders.
