Aave V3 Flash Loan Template

This repository provides a template for implementing a Flash Loan using Aave V3.

Project Description

The Aave V3 Flash Loan Template is a ready-to-use solution for creating and executing Flash Loans on the Aave V3 lending platform. A Flash Loan allows users to borrow assets without collateral as long as the borrowed amount is returned within the same transaction.

This template includes all the necessary setup and configurations to interact with the Aave V3 protocol and execute Flash Loans. It is built with Hardhat, TypeScript, and integrates with the Aave V3 smart contracts.
