Interest Rate Model

Taker’s interest rate algorithm is calibrated to manage liquidity risk and optimise utilisation. The borrow interest rates are derived from the Utilisation Rate
UU
.
​
UU
 is an indicator of the availability of capital within the pool. The interest rate model manages liquidity risk in the protocol through user incentives to support liquidity:
  • When capital is available: low interest rates to encourage borrowing.
  • When capital is scarce: high interest rates to encourage repayments of debt and additional supplying.

Borrow Interest Rate

Liquidity risk materialises when utilisation is high, and this becomes more problematic as
UU
 gets closer to 100%. To tailor the model to this constraint, the interest rate curve is split in two parts around an optimal utilisation rate
UoptimalU_{optimal}
. Before
UoptimalU_{optimal}
the slope is small, after it begins rising sharply.
The interest rate
RtR_t
follows the model:
​
ifUt≤Uoptimal:Rt=R0+UtUoptimalRslope1if \hspace{1mm} U_{t} \leq U_{optimal}: \hspace{1cm} R_t = R_0 + \frac{U_t}{U_{optimal}} R_{slope1}
​
​
ifU>Uoptimal:Rt=R0+Rslope1+Ut−Uoptimal1−UoptimalRslope2if \hspace{1mm} U > U_{optimal}: \hspace{1cm} R_t = R_0 + R_{slope1} + \frac{U_t-U_{optimal}}{1-U_{optimal}}R_{slope2}

Supply Interest rate

The borrow interest rates paid are distributed as yield for Token holders who have supplied to the protocol, excluding a share of yields sent to the ecosystem reserve defined by the reserve factor. This interest rate is generated on the asset that is borrowed out then shared among all the liquidity providers. The supply APY is:
