# Aries Markets

> Margin trading and lending protocol on Aptos

Aries Markets is a decentralized lending and margin trading protocol on Aptos. It lets users lend, borrow, swap with leverage and go long or short from one unified account.

Aries Markets is a decentralized lending and margin trading protocol built on the Aptos blockchain. Users earn interest on deposits, borrow against collateral from shared liquidity pools, and swap or trade with leverage. It brings a money market and leveraged trading together in one on-chain app for Aptos DeFi users.

Each user works from one unified margin account that can be split into sub-accounts to keep positions and risk apart. Interest rates adjust with pool usage, and an efficiency mode allows higher loan-to-value ratios for correlated assets. Supplied assets mint yield-bearing tokens that other Aptos apps accept, and flash loans can be repaid in a different token from the one borrowed.

Its flagship product is the Aries Markets app, which covers lending and borrowing, leveraged swaps through integrated AMM pools, and margin positions that go long or short without selling the underlying asset. The contracts are written in Move and were audited by OtterSec. Aries Markets is used by lenders, borrowers and leveraged traders across the Aptos ecosystem.
