Salary benchmarks
Our take
Avara is a software technology company, known for its cutting-edge Web3 products built on blockchain technologies. Avara has crafted the highly resilient Aave Protocol, a decentralised, open-source, and non-custodial liquidity protocol.
One of Avara's distinctive features is its tokenisation of deposits, allowing users to earn interest in real time as their deposits are transformed into tokens. Depositors contribute liquidity to pools, and borrowers can access this liquidity with variable and stable interest rate options. The Avara Protocol's commitment to community governance is further exemplified through initiatives like the Avara Grants DAO, a community-led grants program financing ideas from the Aave Protocol's community.
Avara's influence extends beyond its flagship protocol, as the company has expanded its portfolio to include transformative projects. Notably, Avara has introduced GHO, an algorithmic stablecoin aimed at revolutionising the stablecoin market by ensuring the verifiability of reserves. Additionally, Avara has ventured into decentralised social networking with Lens, while strategic acquisitions of Sonar, a metaverse app, and the Family Crypto wallet underline its dedication to realising a people-powered internet that benefits all.
