Overview

The Aave Dashboard is a user-facing interface that aggregates everything you need to supply assets, borrow, stake, and monitor risk on Aave — one of the leading decentralized lending protocols. This page covers the Dashboard's major sections, how to read its analytics, best practices for safe usage, and quick troubleshooting tips.

Key Sections of the Dashboard

  • Portfolio / Wallet — shows supplied assets, borrowed amounts, collateral ratios, and wallet-connected balances.
  • Market View — live asset listings with real-time supply & borrow APYs, liquidity depth, and reserve factors.
  • Borrow & Supply — simple flows to deposit collateral, borrow assets, and repay or withdraw funds.
  • Staking & Safety — AAVE-stake features, safety module status, and governance links.
  • Activity & History — transaction history, interest accrual, and events like liquidations or repayments.

Navigation & Common Actions

Connect a Web3 wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, Ledger). Once connected you can:

  • Supply assets: choose asset → approve token → supply.
  • Borrow: select borrow asset and amount; the platform shows your projected health factor before confirming.
  • Switch interest rate mode for certain assets between stable and variable.
  • Enable collateral for assets you want the protocol to consider for borrowing power.

Analytics & Risk Indicators

The Dashboard surfaces powerful metrics to help you manage risk:

  • Health Factor — a numeric representation of your borrowing risk; values >1 are safer, values close to 1 risk liquidation.
  • Utilization Rate — percentage of a pool that is borrowed; high utilization often raises borrow APY.
  • APY Breakdown — shows supply APR, borrow APR, and incentives from liquidity mining.
  • Collateralization Ratio — required minimum vs your current ratio.

Security & Best Practices

  • Only connect to the official Aave domain and verify SSL — check the URL carefully.
  • Use a hardware wallet for large positions and keep private keys offline.
  • Set conservative borrow limits; aim for a health factor > 1.5 for safety.
  • Monitor oracle updates and bridge-related risks when using bridged assets.

Conclusion

The Aave Dashboard combines market transparency, asset management, and risk controls into a single interface tailored for active DeFi users. Whether you're supplying capital for yield or using collateral to borrow, understanding the Dashboard's analytics and following conservative security practices will help you use Aave more safely and efficiently.
