Algorithmic interest rates are variable charges for borrowing or rewards for lending digital assets, determined by automated protocols. These rates dynamically adjust based on real-time supply and demand parameters within decentralized finance platforms. Smart contracts automatically execute these rate modifications without central authority intervention. The system aims to maintain liquidity and capital efficiency by incentivizing or disincentivizing participation.
