Two ways to use Lend
Earn interest
Supply an asset such as USDC or ETH and earn a variable interest rate paid by borrowers.
Collateral loans
Deposit collateral and borrow another asset against it, without selling what you hold.
How onchain lending works
- Lenders supply assets to a market and earn interest.
- Borrowers deposit collateral worth more than what they borrow. Loans are always overcollateralized.
- Interest rates move with demand. The more of a market’s supply is borrowed, the higher the rates for both borrowers and lenders.
- Risky loans are liquidated. If a borrower’s collateral falls too far in value, part of it is sold to repay the loan, protecting lenders.
The market list
Supply and borrow rates are variable. They change continuously with how much of the market is borrowed. The APY shown is the current rate, not a fixed return.
