Networks and wallets for DAI to AAVE
Ethereum mainnet (ERC-20 DAI)
Check that the deposit calls for DAI on Ethereum and that your wallet holds DAI itself. USDS has a separate contract and requires a conversion before it can be sent as DAI.
Ethereum mainnet (ERC-20 AAVE)
If you plan to use the payout for Aave governance, confirm that the wallet you control will receive the Ethereum mainnet AAVE token. Review delegation separately in the governance interface.
Use the exact DAI network when comparing quotes. The number of AAVE units a given deposit can buy changes with the market, so compare how much AAVE will arrive after fees.
How to convert DAI to AAVE
- Check that a live provider quotes your DAI deposit network and the AAVE payout network you need.
- Compare the amount of AAVE you would receive after fees, then confirm the receiving address and any memo or tag required for your payout.
- If you go ahead, follow the live order’s deposit instructions. Keep the order ID and the DAI transaction reference, then verify the AAVE payout in your receiving wallet.
How to compare DAI to AAVE rates
For a rough pre-fee estimate, multiply the DAI amount by the rate expressed in AAVE per DAI. Then compare the actual AAVE payout for the same DAI amount and network. Check whether the withdrawal fee comes out of what you send or is charged separately.
Orbit uses a $100 minimum. The estimate on this page uses reference market prices before fees. An executable quote, including any additional route limits, comes from a live settlement provider.
