Credit Pools

Definition

Credit pools are collections of funds aggregated for lending purposes within decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. These pools allow multiple lenders to contribute capital, which is then made available to borrowers under predefined terms and conditions. Smart contracts automate the management of these funds, including interest accrual and repayment schedules, without requiring traditional intermediaries. They serve as a foundational element for decentralized lending markets, enabling liquidity provision and capital allocation.
