Lending & Borrowing
Lending protocols let you deposit crypto to earn interest, or post collateral to borrow against it — all governed by smart contracts rather than a bank. Rates adjust automatically with supply and demand.
The category includes the major money markets (Aave, Compound, Morpho), collateralised-debt-position systems, and under-collateralised and real-world-asset credit. Liquidations are automatic when collateral falls below threshold.
