Credit products are financial instruments that allow individuals or entities to borrow funds, typically with an obligation to repay the principal and interest. In the digital asset domain, these products extend beyond traditional bank loans to include decentralized lending protocols where users can borrow cryptocurrency by providing other digital assets as collateral. These arrangements often feature algorithmic interest rates determined by supply and demand within the protocol. They provide liquidity and leverage opportunities within the crypto economy, operating without traditional intermediaries.
