The Kovan network has been deprecated, and replaced with Goerli as the maintained testnet for Ethereum. The Kovan market can still be accessed via historical IPFS links of the Aave interface such as these. Link 1 Link 2.

For governance related contracts, see the Voting & Governance section.

The below information can also be programatically fetched by calling getReserveTokensAddresses().

All tokens use 18 decimals, unless indicated otherwise.

Addresses are also available via JSON here.

For assets on testnets, we use different versions of the token (e.g. testnet Dai). This is to ensure enough liquidity for our reserves and to easily mint more tokens when needed.

If you are developing on a testnet and require tokens, go to https://testnet.aave.com/faucet, making sure that your wallet is set to the relevant testnet.

As testnet assets may change frequently, ensure you are using the right asset by minting from our testnet faucet (as mentioned above) and use the ProtocolDataProvider to fetch all the relevant assets using getReserveTokensAddresses.

A list of available Kovan assets is available in JSON here.
