  1. Chapter 2: Markets, Utilization & Interest Rates

6. Why This Matters

Interest rates are the heartbeat of any lending protocol. By gradually increasing rates at lower utilization and accelerating them beyond a certain threshold, Comet ensures:

• Lenders (Suppliers) get rewarded fairly for providing liquidity, especially when there’s higher demand.

• Borrowers can anticipate how rates might change if the market becomes more utilized, helping them manage their borrowing costs.

• The ecosystem stays balanced over time, preventing liquidity shortages.
