When users choose to redeem their AKNC, it is burned, and they receive an equivalent amount of KNC.

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.
