are platforms or protocols where individuals and entities can lend digital assets to borrowers in exchange for interest. These markets facilitate the flow of capital within the cryptocurrency ecosystem, enabling yield generation for lenders and access to capital for borrowers. They can operate through centralized intermediaries or decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs). The interest rates are typically determined by supply and demand dynamics for specific assets.
Context

Discussions often revolve around the risks associated with collateralization, smart contract vulnerabilities, and the potential for systemic contagion during periods of market stress. Future developments may include increased institutional participation or novel risk management frameworks.
