🏦 Lending

KaspaFinance includes a non-custodial lending and borrowing protocol inspired by Aave and Compound, enabling users to earn yield by supplying assets or unlock liquidity by borrowing against their collateral — all within the EVM-L2-scaled, high-speed environment of the Kaspa DAG.


🧩 What Is Lending?

Lending allows users to:

  • Supply tokens to a shared liquidity pool

  • Earn interest on those tokens as other users borrow from the pool

  • Use their supplied assets as collateral to borrow other assets

The protocol is fully decentralized and governed by smart contracts on Kaspa EVM (Kasplex L2). Funds never leave your control, and interest accrues in real-time based on protocol-wide borrowing activity.


🔁 How It Works (Step-by-Step)

💰 Supplying

  1. Deposit supported tokens (e.g., KFC, KAS, USDC, WETH) into the lending market

  2. Begin earning supply APY immediately

  3. Your deposits act as collateral if you choose to borrow

💸 Borrowing

  1. Enable collateral on any supplied token

  2. Borrow supported assets up to a defined Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio

  3. Pay interest (borrow APY) based on demand for that asset

  4. Repay anytime to unlock your collateral

All interest rates are dynamic and adjust algorithmically based on supply and demand.
