Markets Screen Overview

On the Markets screen, you can:

1. View Protocol Statistics: Get a comprehensive overview of the total market size, available liquidity, and total borrowed assets across the Aqualoan protocol.

2. Explore Individual Markets: Click on any asset logo to dive deeper into specific market details, including:

   • Granular statistics on supply and borrow rates.

   • Options to supply or borrow the selected asset.

3. Check APY/APR Rates: The displayed APY/APR rates indicate the following:

   • Supply APY: This is the annual percentage yield earned by users when supplying assets. This rate dynamically changes based on the demand in the market.

   • Borrow APY: The annual percentage yield borrowers pay for borrowing assets from the protocol.

4. A-tokens for Suppliers: When you supply assets, you receive A-tokens in return. These are interest-accruing tokens that represent your deposit in the liquidity pool.

   • How A-tokens Work: A-tokens automatically increase in value over time based on the supply rate, allowing your balance to grow seamlessly.

   • You can redeem A-tokens at any time for the underlying asset, including all accrued interest.

5. Borrowing Mechanics: Borrowers can access liquidity by paying the Borrow APY and providing collateral. The interest paid by borrowers contributes to the protocol’s overall supply rates.
