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.
If you need development support, join the #developers channel on the Aave community Discord server.
LendingPool methods**deposit, borrow, withdraw and repay**are only for ERC20, if you want to deposit, borrow, withdraw or repay using native ETH (or native MATIC incase of Polygon), use WETHGateway instead.
Methods
deposit()
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.
The referral program is currently in active and you can pass0 as thereferralCode.
In future for referral code to be active again, a governance proposal, with the list of unique referral codes for various integration must be passed via governance.
When depositing, the LendingPool contract must have**allowance()to spend funds on behalf ofmsg.sender** for at-least**amount** for the asset being deposited. This can be done via the standard ERC20 approve() method.
Parameter Name
Type
Description
asset
address
address of the underlying asset​
amount

amount deposited, expressed in wei units
onBehalfOf
address
address whom will receive the aTokens.
Use msg.sender when the aTokens should be sent to the caller.
referralCode

referral code for our referral program. Use 0 for no referral.
withdraw()
function withdraw(address asset, uint256 amount, address to)

address
address of the underlying asset, not the aToken
amount
uint256
amount deposited, expressed in wei units.
Use type(uint).max to withdraw the entire balance.
to
address
address that will receive the asset
borrow()
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
asset
address
address of the underlying asset​
amount
uint256
amount to be borrowed, expressed in wei units
interestRateMode
uint256
the type of borrow debt.
Stable: 1, Variable: 2
referralCode
uint16
referral code for our referral program. Use 0 for no referral code.
onBehalfOf
address
address of user who will incur the debt.
Use msg.sender when not calling on behalf of a different user.
repay()
function repay(address asset, uint256 amount, uint256 rateMode, address onBehalfOf)
Repays onBehalfOf's debt amount of asset which has a rateMode.
Parameter Name
Type
Description
asset
address
address of the underlying asset​
amount
uint256
amount to be borrowed, expressed in wei units.
Use uint(-1) to repay the entire debt, ONLY when the repayment is not executed on behalf of a 3rd party.
In case of repayments on behalf of another user, it's recommended to send an _amount slightly higher than the current borrowed amount.
rateMode
uint256
the type of borrow debt.
Stable: 1, Variable: 2
onBehalfOf
address
address of user who will incur the debt.
Use msg.sender when not calling on behalf of a different user.
swapBorrowRateMode()
function swapBorrowRateMode(address asset, uint256 rateMode)

Stable: 1, Variable: 2
setUserUseReserveAsCollateral()
function setUserUseReserveAsCollateral(address asset, bool useAsCollateral)
Sets the asset of msg.sender to be used as collateral or not.
Parameter Name
Type
Description
asset
address
address of the underlying asset​
useAsCollateral
bool
true if the asset should be used as collateral
liquidationCall()
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 user position).
debtToCover parameter can be set to uint(-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().
Parameter Name

Description
collateral
address
address of the collateral reserve
debt
address
address of the debt reserve
user
address

flashLoan()
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 mode is 0,
onBehalfOf incurs a stable debt if mode is 1, or
onBehalfOf incurs a variable debt if mode is 2.
Your contract which receives the flash loaned amounts must conform to the IFlashLoanReceiver interface. For more, see the flash loan guides.
Parameter Name

Return Type
Description
uint256
See the whitepaper for details on why a bitmask was used.
The bitmask is divided into pairs of bits, one pair for each asset.
The first bit of the pair indicates if it is being used as collateral by the user, the second bit indicates if it is being borrowed.

The corresponding assets are in the same position as getReservesList()

For example, if the hex value returned is 0x40020, which represents a decimal value of 262176, then in binary it is 1000000000000100000. If we format the binary value into pairs, starting from the right, we get 1 00 00 00 00 00 00 10 00 00.
If we start from the right and move left in the above binary pairs, the third pair is 10. The third reserve listed in getReserveList() is WETH. Therefore the 1 indicates that WETH is used as collateral, and 0 indicates that WETH has not been borrowed by this user.
If we continue to go to the end of the binary pairs (furthest left), we have 1 which can also be represented as 01. This is the 10th pair, which in getReserveList() is DAI. Therefore the 0 indicates that DAI is not used as collateral, and the 1 indicates that it is being borrowed by this user.
In short, if a user is using WETH as collateral and has borrowed DAI, then the value returned would be 0x40020 (in hex) or 262176 (in decimal).
getReserveNormalizedIncome**()**
function getReserveNormalizedIncome(address asset)
Returns the normalized income per unit of asset.
A return value of 1e271e271e27
 indicates no income. As time passes, the income is accrued. A value of 2∗1e272 * 1e272∗1e27
 indicates that for each unit of asset, two units of income have been accrued.
Parameter Name

getReserveNormalizedVariableDebt**()**
function getReserveNormalizedVariableDebt(address asset)
Returns the normalized variable debt per unit of asset.
A return value of 1e271e271e27
 indicates no debt. As time passes, the debt is accrued. A value of 2∗1e272 * 1e272∗1e27
 indicates that for each unit of asset, two units of debt have been accrued.

Therefore the `0` indicates that DAI is not used as collateral, and the `1` indicates that it is being borrowed by this user. In short, if a user is using WETH as collateral and has borrowed DAI, then the value returned would be `0x40020` (in hex) or `262176` (in decimal).
