# Aave launches new service for unsecured peer-to-peer loans on Ethereum

Partnering with OpenLaw, Aave now has a newly-introduced service that allows users to issue loans without requiring a collateral deposit.
Aave depositors can use the credit delegation system to “delegate their credit lines” to others, according to Aave’s founder and CEO on Twitter.
Users will benefit from agreeing on a smart contract that details the loan’s terms and conditions, without the need to deposit a larger amount than borrowed.
