 description: "Borrowers interact with a dedicated flash loan contract. Their mechanism requires implementing a specific interface (IFlashLoanReceiver) in the borrowing contract, which must include an executeOperation function. This function receives the borrowed assets and handles the loan's business logic. Aave charges a 0.09% fee on successful flash loans and allows borrowing of any asset in their liquidity pools up to the pool's total liquidity. The protocol enforces repayment through a balance check before and after the executeOperation call, ensuring the borrowed amount plus fee returns to the pool."

Governance participants interact with a registry that tracks the vaults, ensuring that voting power is accurately distributed according to the user's active DeFi commitments.
