Where does the stkAAVE come from?

Expert

I would like to calculate how a lending position in e.g. the USDC pool has evolved over time wrt to the yield earned. Unfortunately, I am confused about the stkAAVE. The base lending rate is paid in the underlying, right? But where does the stkAAVE come from?

The StkAave comes from a separate rewards contract [called ](https://etherscan.io/address/0xd784927Ff2f95ba542BfC824c8a8a98F3495f6b5#code)the `IncentivesController `. You can calculate your balance of claimable rewards by querying the UiIncentiveDataProvider view [contract](https://github.com/aave/aave-utilities#formatusersummaryandincentives).
