A lending primitive in decentralized finance refers to a fundamental, foundational protocol or smart contract that enables basic lending and borrowing functionalities. These primitives serve as building blocks upon which more complex financial applications and services are constructed. They provide the core logic for interest rate determination, collateral management, and liquidation processes. Their simplicity allows for composability within DeFi.
