Welcome to DeFi Lending
DeFi lending protocols revolutionize credit markets by eliminating intermediaries. Instead of banks, smart contracts manage deposits, loans, and interest rates automatically—creating a permissionless financial system available to anyone with an internet connection.
💰
Earn Interest
Lend crypto assets to earn yield. Rates adjust automatically based on supply and demand.
🏦
Borrow Assets
Access liquidity without selling your crypto. Collateral-backed loans available 24/7.
How DeFi Lending Differs
✓
Permissionless: No credit checks, KYC, or account approval
✓
Transparent: All transactions visible on blockchain
✓
Automated: Smart contracts manage everything—no human intermediaries
✓
Overcollateralized: Collateral value exceeds loan amount for security
💡
Key Concept
DeFi protocols use liquidity pools—collective funds from lenders that borrowers can access instantly. Interest rates adjust algorithmically based on pool utilization.
