# IInitializableAToken

Interface for the initialize function on AToken

## Initialized

```solidity
event Initialized(address underlyingAsset, address pool, address treasury, address incentivesController, uint8 aTokenDecimals, string aTokenName, string aTokenSymbol, bytes params)
```

*Emitted when an aToken is initialized*

| incentivesController | address | The address of the incentives controller for this aToken  |
| aTokenDecimals       | uint8   | The decimals of the underlying                            |
| aTokenName           | string  | The name of the aToken                                    |
| aTokenSymbol         | string  | The symbol of the aToken                                  |
| params               | bytes   | A set of encoded parameters for additional initialization |

## initialize

```solidity
function initialize(contract IPool pool, address treasury, address underlyingAsset, contract IAaveIncentivesController incentivesController, uint8 aTokenDecimals, string aTokenName, string aTokenSymbol, bytes params) external
```

Initializes the aToken
