How nice this project is going on I just browsing lately on gecko and I noticed AAVE and I remember its the new ethlend which fortunately I got some LEND tokens last March 2018 from eidoo airdrop in my app and I never expect its worth $200 now tried to migrate from lend to aave but the fees is kinda huge $20 insane I ended up in Uniswap instead of migrating my tokens to aave.
I don't know about this migration process and why you need to pay fees. But I had Lend tokens which I had kept at binance exchange and they did autoswap to Aave. I have not done anything manually.
