How this is measured
Every hour this site saves a reading straight from Aave's smart contract on Ethereum, the same source the Aave app uses. Daily averages come from Aave's running interest index, so they show exactly what accrued, including short spikes between readings. History before tracking began was loaded the same way from the blockchain's archive. Days follow UTC. Rates are shown as APY, the way Aave shows them.
