Okay, Bitcoin has dumped a lot this month. The whole altcoin market is bleeding. But that does not stop the biggest DeFi project from launching its own new app, with a ton of features.
Surprisingly, some are quality-of-life features too. Yesterday, on 17th November 2025, Aave announced the Aave app.

The Aave app boasts a ton of features. Some of them are,
1. A new insurance mechanism
Aave promises up to $1 million in insurance coverage for all app users.
It means if your account gets nuked by smart contract risks, your money is safe.
Aave can do this because it has over $60 billion in deposits.
Most importantly, the central banks usually offer insurance of up to $250k. This means your money is truly safe.
But safety alone is not enough for the crypto investors. There comes yield, or passive income.
2. Fixed APY
We have seen many staking opportunities that initially offer 100% or even 200% APY. But as soon as deposits rise, the APY goes down. Sometimes as low as 5%.
But Aave has taken the yield game up a level. It promises 6% base APY. This APY is fixed for a year, and potentially increases in the coming years.
The cherry on top? Aave offers a 0.5% boost on top of the fixed 6%. That means a 6.5% APY.
If you invite your friends to join, you can earn up to 9% APY.
Okay, it has yield, and it has insurance. But what about security?
3. Multi-Factor Authentication, Biometric locks, and more
The app lets you add 2FA to add a layer of security. This 2FA can protect your withdrawals. You can add whitelist wallet addresses so that nobody else can withdraw money.
If you lose access to the app, you can make use of biometrics to restore.
This makes sure, even if your device is stolen, your FUNDS ARE SAFU.
4. Compounding yield
Benjamin Franklin once said:
“Money makes money. And the money that money makes, makes money.”
Compounding makes your money grow faster.
This is why Aave offers compounding yield, which compounds every second.
Aave even has cool graphics on ‘reaching the first million’.

5. Quality of life
This is perhaps the most interesting feature of them all.
Aave lets you set up a recurring deposit. You can decide to deposit a fixed amount with Aave every month.
The available options are through bank transfer and stablecoins.
This is the best and optimized way for DeFi to go mainstream.
How to get started?
Go to https://aave.com/app. Currently, the App is available on iOS only. The app supports iOS versions above 18.4.
There are some restrictions for EU users.
Aave has acknowledged the issue, and the app will be available to all users in the coming days.
The Android app and Web App are yet to launch. The Aave team has confirmed launching both soon.
DeFi is ready to go mainstream. It will not be a one-night miracle. But slowly and surely, we will get there. With serious efforts from projects like Aave to integrate mainstream, DeFi definitely has a bright future too!
