Lending protocol growth refers to the expansion of decentralized finance platforms that facilitate borrowing and lending of digital assets without traditional intermediaries. This growth is measured by metrics such as total value locked in smart contracts, the volume of loans issued, and the number of active users. Increased growth indicates greater capital efficiency and broader utility within the DeFi ecosystem. It reflects rising demand for decentralized financial services.
Context

Rapid increases in total value locked can signal strong market confidence and demand for yield-generating opportunities. However, this growth also brings scrutiny regarding protocol security, smart contract risks, and regulatory considerations for decentralized lending activities.
