This data provides a detailed overview of a specific wallet address’s activity and position within popular decentralized lending protocols. For a given user’s address participating in any of these lending platforms, we give the ability to look at the total amount they’ve deposited into the protocol, total amount of collateral they’ve supplied to the protocol, total amount they’ve borrowed, total amount they can still borrow, the difference between total collateral and total borrowed, total amount of protocol incentives they’ve generated by participating in the protocol, total amount of protocol incentives they have not yet claimed, a risk metric that indicates how close they are to being liquidated, the maximum loan value, the limit at which they are considered under-collateralized, and the collection of all lending and borrowing positions that this address holds broken down by asset
Accessing this data via a single API endpoint is immensely valuable for several reasons:
Comprehensive Oversight: It provides a holistic view of an address’s activity within a specific decentralized lending protocol. This allows for efficient monitoring and management of risk, lending, and borrowing activities.
Risk Management: With metrics like the risk of liquidation, maximum loan value, and the limit of undercollateralization, users or automated systems can make timely decisions to prevent liquidation or optimize returns.
Incentive Tracking: Information on generated and unclaimed protocol incentives enables users to claim rewards optimally, thereby maximizing yield.
This kind of data aggregation simplifies complex DeFi interactions, making it easier for users to engage with lending protocols more effectively.
The Lending Wallets endpoint is available via REST API for historical (time-series) data with history as far back as the blockchain’s genesis block.Support includes Aave v2 & v3, Compound v2 & v3 and MakerDAO across Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Arbitrum, and Optimism.
DeFi (Decentralized Finance) lending refers to the practice of lending assets through blockchain-based platforms without the need for traditional financial intermediaries like banks. Some of the more popular Lending platforms are Aave, Compound, and MakerDAO.
What is collateral?
Collateral is the asset locked in a smart contract when a loan is taken out. If a borrower fails to repay, the collateral can be liquidated to cover the debt. If the value of the collateral drops below a certain threshold, it may be sold off automatically to repay the loan.
How is the Interest Rate determined?
Interest rates on DeFi lending platforms are often determined algorithmically, based on supply and demand for a particular asset.
