Edel Markets are individual lending pools for each supported asset like USDC, TESLA, or APPL. Each market operates independently with its own interest rates, risk parameters, and available liquidity.

## How Markets Work

Each market accepts supplier deposits and pays interest based on borrowing demand.

<Info>
  See the complete [supply process walkthrough](/the-protocol/supply\&earn#how-supplying-works) for step-by-step instructions.
</Info>

Each market has:

* **Supply Rate**: The interest you earn for supplying assets
* **Borrow Rate**: The interest charged for borrowing assets
* **Available Liquidity**: How much can currently be borrowed
* **Utilization Rate**: Percentage of the market currently borrowed

<Info>
  Interest rates automatically adjust based on supply and demand. Higher utilization typically means higher rates for both suppliers and borrowers.
</Info>

## Market Parameters

Every market has specific risk settings that protect the protocol. Learn more about [market parameters](/concepts/market-parameters) including LTV ratios, liquidation thresholds, and supply/borrow caps.

<Tip>
  Check current market rates and parameters in the Markets section before supplying or borrowing.
