LendingPool
The LendingPool contract is the main contract of the protocol. It exposes all the user-oriented actions that can be invoked using either Solidity or web3 libraries.
The source code can be found on Github here.

function deposit(address asset, uint256 amount, address onBehalfOf, uint16 referralCode)
Deposits a certain amount of an asset into the protocol, minting the same amount of corresponding aTokens, and transferring them to the onBehalfOf address.
For referralCode input explanations, please refer to the referral program section of the documentation. During testing, you can use the referral code: 0.
When depositing, the LendingPool contract must have at least an allowance() of amount for the asset being deposited. This can be done via the standard ERC20 approve() method.
Parameter Name | Type | Description |
| address | address of the underlying asset​ |
| uint256 | amount deposited, expressed in wei units |
| address | address whom will receive the aTokens.
Use |
| uint16 | referral code for our referral program. Use 0 for no referral. |
function withdraw(address asset, uint256 amount, address to)
Withdraws amount of the underlying asset, i.e. redeems the underlying token and burns the aTokens.
Ensure you set the relevant ERC20 allowance of the aToken, before calling this function, so the LendingPool contract can burn the associated aTokens.

function borrow(address asset, uint256 amount, uint256 interestRateMode, uint16 referralCode, address onBehalfOf)
Borrows amount of asset with interestRateMode, sending the amount to msg.sender, with the debt being incurred by onBehalfOf.
Note: onBehalfOf must have enough collateral via deposit() or have delegated credit to msg.sender via approveDelegation(). See the Credit Delegation guide for more details.
Parameter Name | Type | Description |
| address | address of the underlying asset​ |
| uint256 | amount to be borrowed, expressed in wei units |
| uint256 | the type of borrow debt. Stable: 1, Variable: 2 |

function repay(address asset, uint256 amount, uint256 rateMode, address onBehalfOf)
Repays onBehalfOf's debt amount of asset which has a rateMode.

function swapBorrowRateMode(address asset, uint256 rateMode)
Swaps the msg.sender's borrow rate modes between stable and variable.
Parameter Name | Type | Description |
| address | address of the underlying asset​ |
| uint256 | the rate mode the user is swapping from. Stable: 1, Variable: 2 |
function setUserUseReserveAsCollateral(address asset, bool useAsCollateral)
Sets the asset of msg.sender to be used as collateral or not.
Parameter Name | Type | Description |
| address | address of the underlying asset​ |
| bool |
|
function liquidationCall(address collateral, address debt, address user, uint256 debtToCover, bool receiveAToken)
Liquidate positions with a health factor below 1. Also see our Liquidations guide.
When the health factor of a position is below 1, liquidators repay part or all of the outstanding borrowed amount on behalf of the borrower, while receiving a discounted amount of collateral in return (also known as a liquidation 'bonus"). Liquidators can decide if they want to receive an equivalent amount of collateral aTokens, or the underlying asset directly. When the liquidation is completed successfully, the health factor of the position is increased, bringing the health factor above 1.
Liquidators can only close a certain amount of collateral defined by a close factor. Currently the close factor is 0.5. In other words, liquidators can only liquidate a maximum of 50% of the amount pending to be repaid in a position. The liquidation discount applies to this amount.
Liquidators must approve() the LendingPool contract to use debtToCover of the underlying ERC20 of theasset used for the liquidation.
NOTES
In most scenarios, profitable liquidators will choose to liquidate as much as they can (50% of the
userposition).debtToCoverparameter can be set touint(-1)and the protocol will proceed with the highest possible liquidation allowed by the close factor.To check a user's health factor, use
getUserAccountData().

function flashLoan(address receiverAddress, address[] calldata assets, uint256[] calldata amounts, uint256[] modes, address onBehalfOf, bytes calldata params, uint16 referralCode)
Sends the requested amounts of assets to the receiverAddress contract, passing the included params.
If the flash loaned amounts + fee is not returned by the end of the transaction, then the transaction will either:
revert if the associated
modeis 0,onBehalfOfincurs a stable debt ifmodeis 1, oronBehalfOfincurs a variable debt ifmodeis 2.
Your contract which receives the flash loaned amounts must conform to the IFlashLoanReceiver interface. For more, see the flash loan guides.

| the types of debt to open if the flashloan is not returned. 0: Don't open any debt, just revert 1: stable mode debt 2: variable mode debt |

The corresponding assets are in the same position as If we start from the right and move left in the above binary pairs, the third pair is If we continue to go to the end of the binary pairs (furthest left), we have In short, if a user is using WETH as collateral and has borrowed DAI, then the value returned would be |
