Ecosystem Education
LiquidOps Tweet — "How Are Lending Protocol Interest Rates Determined".
Rates on DeFi platforms (such as AAVE and Compound) dynamically adjust based on supply and demand: when token deposits increase, rates decrease; when borrowing demand rises, rates increase.
The core of rate changes lies in utilization. Protocols use real-time algorithms to intelligently adjust, ensuring liquidity for both borrowers and lenders.
