# Aave

Terminal 1 connects to Aave so users can use their Aave positions in routed transactions. Aave can serve as a source of liquidity, a source of collateral, or the destination for a refinanced position.

Aave routes let users refinance between Aave and Term, use Aave borrowing capacity or withdrawable collateral to fund a Term loan, or unwind an Aave position through a single routed flow.

If a route includes Aave, the preview will show the expected impact on your Aave position, including collateral, debt, borrowing capacity, and health factor where applicable. Execution depends on supported assets, available collateral, borrowing capacity, and Aave market constraints at execution time. If those requirements are not satisfied, the route reverts safely.

**Important:** previews are informational only. Users should independently verify their resulting Aave position, including health factor and liquidation risk, before signing. Terminal 1 does not guarantee the accuracy of third-party venue data and will not prevent users from executing routes that result in dangerously low health factors or otherwise risky positions.

### What to expect

* If a route includes Aave, the preview will show the expected impact on your Aave position, including collateral, debt, borrowing capacity, and health factor where applicable.
* Reverts will typically come from missing authorization, insufficient capacity, or Aave market constraints rather than partial execution.

### User considerations

* **Resulting position:** review the expected impact on your Aave position, including collateral, debt, borrowing capacity, and health factor.
* **Liquidation risk:** ensure the resulting health factor leaves enough buffer for price moves, interest accrual, and market volatility.
* **Variable-rate risk:** Aave borrow and supply rates are variable and may change before or after execution. Review the current rate and understand that the resulting position may accrue interest at a different rate over time.
* **Market availability:** Aave liquidity, caps, collateral parameters, and borrowing capacity can change before execution and may affect whether the route can be completed.
* **Authorizations:** confirm that any required approvals, permits, or Safe authorizations are in place and use appropriate spending limits.
* **Preview limitations:** previews are informational only. Users are responsible for independently verifying Aave data, route outputs, health factor, and liquidation risk before signing. Terminal 1 does not guarantee the accuracy of third-party venue data and does not prevent users from executing routes that may result in low health factors or otherwise risky positions.
