O Guia Completo de GHO Stablecoin

Aave's native decentralized stablecoin explained: how it works, how to mint it, where to earn yield with it, and how GHO compares with other stablecoins.

O que é GHO?

GHO is a decentralized, over-collateralized stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. It was created by the Aave Protocol, one of the largest lending protocols in DeFi by total value locked (TVL, tracked live on DefiLlama). According to the Aave governance forum, GHO went live on Ethereum mainnet in July 2023.

Unlike centralized stablecoins such as USDC or USDT, GHO is not backed by fiat reserves in a bank account. Users mint GHO by borrowing against crypto collateral deposited in Aave V3. The Aave DAO (decentralized autonomous organization) governs GHO, so no single company controls its issuance.

GHO is an ERC-20 token. Its supply grows when users mint it and shrinks when debt is repaid and the GHO is burned. Compare it with other dollar tokens in our stablecoin yield guide.

Sobre-colateralizado

Cada token GHO é respaldado por mais de US$1 em colateral cripto depositado na Aave V3.

Governado por DAO

The borrow rate, facilitator caps and other key parameters are decided by AAVE token holders through on-chain votes.

Multi-colateral

Mint GHO against collateral accepted by Aave V3 on Ethereum, such as ETH, WBTC or LINK (see the Aave app for the current list).

Como funciona o GHO

GHO uses a facilitator model to manage minting. Facilitators are protocols or entities approved by Aave governance to mint and burn GHO. Each one has a capacity, called a bucket, that caps how much GHO it can create.

1

Fornecer colateral

Deposit supported crypto assets (ETH, WBTC, LINK and others) into Aave V3 on Ethereum. Your collateral earns supply interest while it backs your GHO position.

2

Emitir GHO

Borrow GHO against your collateral at a rate set by Aave governance. Unlike other Aave assets, the GHO rate is not driven directly by pool utilization. Check the current rate on the Aave app before borrowing.

3

Controle do Facilitador

Each facilitator has a bucket capacity that caps how much GHO it can mint. The Aave V3 Ethereum pool is the primary facilitator. FlashMinter is another: it enables flash loans of GHO for arbitrage and liquidations.

4

Juros & Receita

Interest paid on GHO borrows goes to the Aave DAO treasury, according to the GHO documentation. For regular Aave borrows, interest goes to suppliers instead. GHO is therefore a direct revenue stream for the protocol.

Principais Características do GHO

O que torna o GHO diferente de outras stablecoins no mercado.

Taxa Controlada pela Governança

The GHO borrow rate is set by Aave governance through on-chain votes, not by market utilization. Governance can still change it, so the rate is predictable between votes rather than fixed forever.

Desconto stkAAVE

Users who stake AAVE in the Safety Module (stkAAVE) receive a discount on the GHO borrow rate for part of their debt. This rewards staking, which backs the protocol in case of a shortfall.

Garantia Multicolateral

GHO can be minted against the assets accepted as collateral by Aave V3 on Ethereum. This diversifies the backing and reduces dependency on a single asset.

Receita para a DAO

GHO borrow interest goes to the Aave DAO treasury rather than to suppliers, which makes GHO a revenue source for the protocol.

Mintagem Flash

O facilitador FlashMinter permite empréstimos flash de GHO sem garantia em uma única transação, apoiando bots de arbitragem e liquidação.

Expansão Cross-Chain

GHO is available beyond Ethereum on selected layer 2 networks such as Arbitrum, moved through Chainlink CCIP. The GHO documentation lists the networks currently supported.

Onde usar GHO

GHO is integrated across several parts of the DeFi ecosystem.

Exchanges Descentralizadas

Trade GHO on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) such as Balancer and Curve. GHO is paired with other stablecoins in liquidity pools; check pool depth before a large swap.

Protocolos de Empréstimo

Supply GHO on lending platforms such as Morpho to earn interest from borrowers. Available markets and rates change over time, so check each protocol directly.

Fornecimento de Liquidez

Provide liquidity in GHO pools on Balancer and Curve to earn trading fees. Aave governance may vote extra incentives for some pools; these are temporary and change over time.

Pagamentos

Use GHO como um meio de troca estável para pagamentos ponto a ponto, faturamento e transações cotidianas dentro do ecossistema cripto.

Agregadores de Yield

Deposite GHO em agregadores de rendimento que otimizam automaticamente os retornos em múltiplos protocolos e estratégias.

DeFi entre cadeias

Move GHO to supported layer 2 networks such as Arbitrum through Chainlink CCIP for lower gas fees. See our guide on how to bridge crypto.

Como cunhar GHO

Um guia passo a passo para criar GHO no Aave V3.

1

Conecte sua carteira

Go to app.aave.com and connect a Web3 wallet such as MetaMask, Rabby or Coinbase Wallet. Make sure you are on the Ethereum network.

2

Fornecer colateral

Deposit supported assets (ETH, WBTC, LINK and others) into the Aave V3 Ethereum market. Your collateral must exceed the value of GHO you want to mint, based on the asset's loan-to-value (LTV) ratio.

3

Tomar GHO

Open the GHO borrow section and enter the amount you want to mint. Review the current borrow rate (and whether you qualify for the stkAAVE discount), then confirm the transaction.

4

Use seu GHO

GHO appears in your wallet once the transaction is confirmed. Use it in DeFi protocols, provide liquidity, earn yield, or hold it as a stable asset.

5

Reembolsar & Reivindicar Colateral

Quando estiver pronto, quite sua dívida de GHO mais os juros acumulados na Aave. Uma vez quitada, você pode retirar sua garantia. O GHO quitado é queimado, reduzindo o suprimento total.

Curve Finance

GHO stableswap pools on Curve offer low-slippage trading and yield from trading fees. CRV rewards may also be available, depending on gauge allocations at the time.

Riscos e Considerações

Riscos importantes a compreender antes de usar GHO.

Risco de Desvinculação

GHO can trade below $1 if demand weakens or confidence drops. Over-collateralization supports the value of the debt, but it does not force the market price to $1. GHO traded below its peg for several months after launch, as discussed on the Aave governance forum, and this can happen again.

Risco de Contrato Inteligente

GHO relies on Aave V3 smart contracts. Aave publishes its audit reports, but no code is immune to vulnerabilities or exploits.

Risco de Governança

Aave DAO controls all GHO parameters. Poor governance decisions (for example a badly set rate or a risky facilitator) could weaken GHO stability.

Perguntas Frequentes

O que é GHO?
GHO is a decentralized, over-collateralized stablecoin pegged to the US dollar. It is native to the Aave Protocol and is minted by borrowing against collateral supplied to Aave V3 on Ethereum. Aave DAO governs GHO and sets key parameters such as the borrow rate and facilitator caps.
Como você cunha GHO?
Supply collateral (such as ETH, WBTC or another supported asset) to Aave V3 on Ethereum. Then borrow GHO against it, the same way you would borrow any other asset on Aave. The minted GHO arrives in your wallet and the debt appears in your Aave dashboard. Repaying the debt burns the GHO.
Os detentores de stkAAVE recebem desconto no GHO?
Yes. Users who stake AAVE in the Safety Module (stkAAVE) get a discounted GHO borrow rate on part of their debt. Aave governance sets the discount rate and the amount of GHO debt each stkAAVE covers. Check the current parameters in the GHO documentation.
O GHO é seguro de usar?
GHO runs on audited Aave V3 smart contracts and is over-collateralized, so more value backs each GHO than its face value. It still carries DeFi risks: smart contract bugs, liquidation if your collateral falls in value, governance decisions, and periods of trading below $1. Always do your own research and only use funds you can afford to lose.
Onde posso obter rendimento com GHO?
GHO can earn yield across DeFi: liquidity pools on decentralized exchanges such as Balancer and Curve, lending markets such as Morpho, and Aave's own GHO staking or savings options (see the GHO documentation for what is currently offered). Rates change daily, so check them at the source. If you prefer a managed product, Coinstancy Dollar Savings pays a fixed APY on USDC.
