# Aave V3 USDC

**About this market**\
This Earn opportunity generates yield by supplying USDC directly to the Aave v3 lending market on Base.

**What is Aave?**\
Aave is an on-chain lending protocol where suppliers earn interest by providing liquidity, and borrowers pay interest to borrow assets against over-collateralized collateral.

**01 Supply USDC to the Aave market**\
Supply USDC on the **Base network** to the Aave v3 USDC market. Your USDC becomes available liquidity for borrowers and can be withdrawn anytime (subject to available market liquidity).

**02 How your USDC is used**\
Your supplied USDC is pooled in the Aave USDC reserve. Aave automatically matches supply and borrow demand, and interest rates adjust dynamically based on utilization.

**03 Earn interest from borrowers**\
Borrowers deposit collateral and borrow USDC, paying interest back to suppliers. Your yield primarily comes from borrower interest and changes in market utilization over time.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shredpay.xyz/yield-products/aave-v3-usdc.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
