Kandel is an Automated Market Making strategy that uses on-chain order flow to repost offers instantly, without any latency. It could be considered as a market-making bot equivalent that operates solely on the blockchain. It leverages **the interaction between buyers and sellers** that creates price movement, rather than the price itself. Within a market and price range you select, Kandel automatically posts Bids and Asks. **Its main goal is to buy low and sell high** - profits are made through accumulated spread, i.e. the difference between the Bids and Asks that are taken. ## Kandel Aave Kandel Aave is a strategy based on Kandel, but with funds deposited on [Aave](https://aave.com/) at any given time, the leading lending protocol on EVM. This allows users to combine trading fees generated on Mangrove while also benefiting from Aave’s yield. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
