Lending Activity represents the financial practice of providing capital or digital assets to borrowers in exchange for interest payments or other forms of compensation. This often occurs on a collateralized basis within the crypto ecosystem.
Mechanism
In decentralized finance (DeFi), lending occurs through automated smart contracts on blockchain platforms. Users deposit assets into liquidity pools, and borrowers draw from these pools, providing specified collateral and paying interest programmatically according to the contract terms.
Methodology
Protocols establish lending terms, algorithmic interest rate models, and collateralization ratios to manage associated risk. Systems for liquidating undercollateralized positions and managing oracle price feeds are critical for maintaining solvency and operational integrity in permissionless lending markets.
