DeFi Lending Rates Change Based on One Key Metric

**Lending pool rates fluctuate in real-time** based on a single crucial factor: utilization rate. This metric measures how much of a lending pool's available funds are currently borrowed. When more people borrow (higher utilization), rates increase to encourage more deposits and discourage excessive borrowing. **Key points:** - Rates aren't fixed - they adjust automatically - Higher utilization = higher interest rates - Lower utilization = lower interest rates This dynamic system keeps DeFi lending markets balanced by incentivizing the right behavior at the right time.
