Permissionless Lending

Definition

Permissionless lending is a decentralized financial activity where users can lend or borrow digital assets without requiring approval from any central authority or intermediary. This process is fully automated and enforced by smart contracts on a blockchain, allowing for open and equitable access to credit markets. It removes traditional barriers to entry, fostering financial inclusion. This model operates based on predefined code, not human discretion.
