Which networks can I use when swapping LINK to AAVE on Zest?

LINK can be sent from Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, or Polygon. AAVE can only be received on Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain. Make sure your chosen receive network is one your wallet supports, and that the network you select for sending LINK is compatible with where you want AAVE to land.

Why do DeFi users commonly swap LINK for AAVE?

Chainlink and Aave serve different roles in the DeFi stack — LINK powers decentralised oracle networks while AAVE is the governance and utility token of a major lending protocol. Users often make this swap when rebalancing DeFi positions, moving from infrastructure exposure toward yield-generating or governance-focused holdings without leaving the broader Ethereum ecosystem.

Should I choose a fixed or floating rate for LINK to AAVE?

Most users pick a fixed rate for this route: it locks the amount of AAVE you receive when you create the order, so price movement while your LINK deposit confirms does not change the payout. A floating rate follows the market and can pay slightly more or less at execution time. You can choose either in the swap form before confirming.

How long does a LINK to AAVE exchange take?

Timing depends on how quickly your LINK deposit confirms on-chain, exchange processing, and AAVE network conditions. Congestion on either network can extend the wait, and the order page tracks each step while your swap runs.

Do I need an account to exchange LINK for AAVE?

No signup is required for standard swaps. Zest is non-custodial — you send LINK from your own wallet and receive AAVE at an address you control, with the rate shown before you confirm.

Swapping LINK for AAVE is a common move for DeFi participants shifting oracle-layer exposure toward lending protocol governance — both assets operate natively on Ethereum, making the route straightforward for users already active on that network. AAVE also lives on BNB Smart Chain, so users bridging from LINK on BSC have a matching receive-side option without touching Ethereum at all. Double-checking that your send and receive networks align is the key step before confirming this swap.

How to swap LINK for AAVE

1
Open the exchange widget and select LINK as the send currency and AAVE as the receive currency. The widget shows the live rate and the minimum amount for this pair.
2
Enter the amount of LINK you want to exchange and choose a fixed or floating rate.
3
Paste your AAVE wallet address into the recipient field and double-check it. Select the network your wallet supports -- the receive network must match where your address lives.
4
Click Exchange and send your LINK to the deposit address shown. Your AAVE arrives once the transaction confirms on-chain.

Before exchanging LINK → AAVE

Before confirming a LINK → AAVE swap, verify which network your LINK is held on — Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, or Polygon are all supported send-side options. Your AAVE receive address must be on a network that supports AAVE: Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain. If you send LINK from Arbitrum or Polygon, your AAVE will arrive on Ethereum or BSC, so confirm your wallet supports the chosen receive network before proceeding. Neither LINK nor AAVE requires a memo or destination tag on any supported network. Confirmation times can vary depending on network congestion, so review the rate shown on-screen before finalising — Zest displays the rate prior to confirmation with no signup required.
