Lending protocols (Aave, Compound, MakerDAO) let users deposit crypto, earn interest, and borrow against collateral. Developers integrate these protocols via smart contracts and SDKs. Total value locked (TVL) in lending exceeds $30B. Senior developers earn 30-40% premiums. Mastery requires 8-10 weeks of smart contract + DeFi knowledge. Demand concentrated in crypto/finance.
Lending protocols are smart contracts that pool crypto assets and enable lending/borrowing. Users deposit collateral, earn interest on deposits, and can borrow against their collateral. The protocol algorithmically adjusts interest rates based on supply/demand. Aave and Compound are the largest; MakerDAO is a stablecoin lender (DAI). Developers integrate these protocols by: calling contract functions (deposit, borrow, repay), listening to events, or building frontend UIs. The goal is leveraging existing liquidity (billions locked) to enable new applications.
