Lending

Overview

Flux Finance is a peer-to-pool (p2pool) lending protocol. Lenders supply assets to a market (i.e. deposit assets in a pool), and collectively earn interest (i.e. the supply rate) for the assets in it. The protocol then makes these assets available to borrowers, who deposit other assets into the protocol as collateral.

Users can become lenders by depositing assets to mint fTokens. The interest earned by the protocol isn't distributed; instead, the exchange rate for fTokens increases, and users will be able to redeem more assets over time as interest is earned. The interest rate earned by lenders (supply rate) fluctuates and depends on the market's utilization (i.e. the percentage of deposited assets that has been borrowed).

Though unlikely, it's possible for lenders to lose funds in extreme situations if the protocol accrues bad debt. Refer to Liquidations for more details.
