What AquaStack is, and what every number means.

This page explains the protocol from first principles, then walks through every field on the app screen by screen: what it reads, where the number comes from on-chain, and what "bps" means when you see it.

What is AquaStack

In normal DeFi, a dollar does one job: it's lent on Aave, or it's LP'd on a DEX. AquaStack makes one stablecoin deposit do both at once, non-custodially, with an automated rule that exits the position if the liquidity pool depegs.

It's built on 1inch Aqua, a shared-liquidity layer where a maker registers a virtual balance and the underlying tokens never leave the maker's wallet — Aqua only moves them (via pull() / push()) at the instant a swap actually settles. Because the tokens sit in the wallet the whole time, they can simultaneously be a rebasing Aave aToken, quietly accruing lending interest, while Aqua treats the same balance as live swap liquidity. Nothing is double-spent — Aqua can only ever pull up to the registered virtual balance.

NOTE

This is the core trick the whole app is built around: Aqua only ever reads a virtual balance and pulls real tokens at swap time — it never needs custody, so the same tokens are free to be an Aave position at the same time.
