Sentora Receives 50% of Aave Revenue While Suppliers Bear All Losses

WHY IT MATTERS

In decentralized lending, regular users deposit their crypto into a shared pool so others can borrow it, earning interest in return. Think of it like putting money into a community savings fund that lends to others — you earn a cut of the interest, but if a borrower does not pay back, your deposit could lose value. This report highlights a situation where a company called Sentora is taking half the earnings from one of these lending pools (Aave), but the regular depositors are the ones who lose money if things go wrong. For newcomers to crypto, this is an example of why it is important to understand not just the potential returns of a DeFi protocol, but also who bears the risk and how revenue is shared among different participants.
