A risk-isolated market is one in which risks are not collectively shared.

To create a market, you need to add a new trading pair. Suppose you want to add DEUS/DEA, and ETH/INV trading pairs, you can do this by clicking "Create New Market" and then finding the token you want to pair. It is not necessary to add corresponding liquidity to create a trading pair, but other people who need to borrow from this trading pair need to add liquidity. Due to the flexible rate, underutilized trading pairs will be less liquid, and vice versa.

What is a flexible rate?

The flexible rate is a means of incentivizing liquidity to fluctuate within a desired range (70 - 80%). The flexible interest rate is optimized according to the utilization rate (borrowed assets/total assets). If the utilization rate is lower than the minimum target utilization rate, the interest rate is halved every 8 hours, and its upper limit is the minimum utilization rate. If the utilization exceeds the maximum target utilization, the rate doubles every 8 hours.

Why is the borrowing rate higher than the supply rate?

The borrow rate is higher than the supply rate because the collateral is never maxed out, so the borrow rate is always slightly higher.

There is also a fee for borrowing, and this fee will be included in the reserve fund, which is why the borrowing rate is higher.

What are the benefits of using token pairs?

The benefits of using token pairs are similar to those of using AMMs. Token pairs create a more open market. Specifically, using tokens enables users to calculate and understand the risks they are taking. The ability to calculate and take these risks has opened up a new space for game theory to be explored. For example, users can increase their lending yield if they supply new tokens, since token pairs containing new tokens are typically borrowed more, however, when they do so, they also increase their risk, Because new tokens have a higher default rate. On the other hand, if users provide more battle-tested collateral, they will have lower interest rates and lower risk, but they will also earn less from collateral because there will be more supply, and Fewer demands.

What is the difference between Kashi, Compound and Aave?

The main difference is that Kashi uses a loan-token pair, risk-isolated marketplace. Both Aave and Compound calculate risk on a global scale, and the solvency of any token will affect the solvency of the entire platform. An important consequence of using a risk-isolated marketplace is that Kashi allows any token to be listed. Another important consequence is that flexible interest rates are used to incentivize liquidity within a certain range. Another consequence of lending token pairs and risk isolating markets is that Kashi's oracles need to be customizable to provide price feeds for an infinite number of tokens.

Here are the superficial differences between Kashi and lending protocols like Aave, Compound:

Why did my interest rate go up or down?

Interest rates fluctuate up and down relative to market utilization. If utilization falls below 70%, interest rates fall, which incentivizes borrowers to utilize; above 80%, rates rise, which incentivizes suppliers to utilize and discourages borrowing. The purpose of this is to incentivize liquidity within a desirable range, as we don't want liquidity to be overused (unmet demand) or underused (oversupply).
