An on-chain money market is a decentralized financial protocol operating entirely on a blockchain, facilitating permissionless lending and borrowing of digital assets. These markets typically use smart contracts to automate interest rate calculations, collateral management, and liquidation processes. They allow participants to access capital or earn yield directly, without the need for traditional intermediaries. This architecture promotes transparency and censorship resistance.
