When to Use

• Building swap functionality with Uniswap or Ubeswap
• Integrating lending/borrowing with Aave
• Creating liquidity provision features
• Building DeFi aggregators

Supply Assets

const AAVE_POOL = "0x3E59A31363E2ad014dcbc521c4a0d5757d9f3402";

const POOL_ABI = [
  {
    name: "supply",
    type: "function",
    stateMutability: "nonpayable",
    inputs: [
      { name: "asset", type: "address" },
      { name: "amount", type: "uint256" },
      { name: "onBehalfOf", type: "address" },
      { name: "referralCode", type: "uint16" },

    abi: POOL_ABI,

Borrow Assets

const POOL_ABI_BORROW = [

    type: "function",
    stateMutability: "nonpayable",
    inputs: [

Token Approval

Before interacting with DeFi protocols, approve token spending:

const ERC20_ABI = [
  {
    name: "approve",
    type: "function",
    stateMutability: "nonpayable",
    inputs: [
      { name: "spender", type: "address" },
      { name: "amount", type: "uint256" },
    ],
    outputs: [{ type: "bool" }],
  },
] as const;

async function approveToken(
  token: string,
  spender: string,
  amount: bigint
): Promise<string> {
  const walletClient = createWalletClient({
    chain: celo,
    transport: custom(window.ethereum),
  });

  const [address] = await walletClient.getAddresses();

  const hash = await walletClient.writeContract({
    address: token as `0x${string}`,
    abi: ERC20_ABI,
    functionName: "approve",
    args: [spender as `0x${string}`, amount],
  });

  return hash;
}
