The Aave protocol is migrating from its native LEND token to the AAVE token, as detailed in Aavenomics. The AAVE token is an ERC-20 compatible token with the addition of a snapshot feature (used in governance balance tracking) and integrates EIP 2612 permit function, allowing gas-less transactions and one transaction approval/transfer.

The source code for the AAVE token and migration can be found on Github here.
