Aave - Privy Docs

Aave vaults supply a single token to an Aave v3 lending market, where borrowers pay interest on it. Your app uses the standard Earn API, and Privy handles the Aave contract calls.

Set up

Aave USDC on Base is self-serve:

Under Wallet infrastructure > Earn in the Privy Dashboard, select Aave USDC on Base.
Set the performance fee.
Select Create vault. Privy creates an admin wallet by default. To use an existing wallet, open Advanced settings.
Copy the vault ID.

For other tokens or chains, contact [email protected]. Your app sets a performance fee from 0% to 100% of the vault’s yield. Fees stay in the vault until your app collects them.

Collect performance fees

Check what’s available with get vault details, which returns available_fees in the smallest unit of the underlying asset. Then call collect fees from the vault’s admin wallet:

curl -X POST https://api.privy.io/api/v1/wallets/{admin_wallet_id}/earn/ethereum/fees/collect \
  -H "privy-app-id: <your-app-id>" \
  -H "Authorization: Basic <credentials>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "vault_id": "<your-aave-vault-id>"
  }'

Each call moves all available fees to the admin wallet. Partial collection isn’t supported. If Privy created the admin wallet and it hasn’t been changed, your app secret alone authorizes the call. The action moves from pending to succeeded once it confirms onchain. Track it with the wallet_action.earn_fee_collect webhooks.
