Sturdy Finance introduces a new approach to creating liquid money markets for any token through a unique two-tier architecture. This design isolates risk between assets while preventing liquidity fragmentation, featuring risk-isolated pools at its base and an aggregation layer that enables lenders to choose suitable collateral assets for their deposits. The governance token of the platform, $STRDY plays a pivotal role in overseeing the Sturdy protocol's operations. Governance is primarily driven by $STRDY holders.
Aave offers a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity protocol for lending, borrowing, and earning interest on crypto assets. Its community-driven governance process involves AAVE, stkAAVE, and aAAVE token holders in decision-making. Ideas are discussed in the Aave Governance Forum, polled on Snapshot, and, if supported, become Aave Improvement Proposals (AIPs). AAVE tokens, capped at 16 million, are used for governance and protocol security.
