Navigating Sui: DeFi

What’s the point of lending and borrowing in Crypto?

Crypto lending and borrowing has revolutionized the financial landscape by enabling individuals to lend their digital assets and earn interest from them, while borrowers can leverage their existing holdings as collateral to access loans.

These activities occur through decentralized platforms that utilize smart contracts on blockchain networks, eliminating the need for intermediaries. In this decentralized and transparent environment, crypto lending and borrowing offer individuals passive earning opportunities and provide borrowers with liquidity, all in a seamless and efficient manner.
