Why utilization matters
Each asset on Aave has a target utilization, often between 80% and 94%. Below the target, the borrow rate rises gently. Above it, the rate rises steeply to pull in new supply and push borrowers to repay, which also means withdrawals can briefly be hard because little is left in the pool. That is why a loan can suddenly cost much more for a few minutes. Read how Aave interest rates work and why the average rate differs from the current rate.
