Algorithmic Credit

Definition

Algorithmic credit refers to lending and borrowing mechanisms within decentralized finance that operate based on automated rules and smart contracts. These systems utilize predefined algorithms to assess creditworthiness, determine loan terms, and manage collateral without human intervention. The underlying code dictates parameters such as interest rates, liquidation thresholds, and eligibility criteria. This approach aims to enhance transparency and reduce reliance on centralized authorities in financial transactions.
