Get Lending Rates

GET
/v1/loans/rates

Returns the current lending rates for supported currencies.

Interest Auction

At the start of every hour, the interest engine calculates the total borrow demand for each currency across all users. It then runs an auction by sorting lending offers by minimum rate and selecting the marginal rate that satisfies the total borrowing demand. All lenders receive the same lending rate, which is the highest rate among the loan offers utilised to meet the full borrow demand.
