The lending process in DeFi is carried out from the beginning to the end without intermediaries. A coin holder sends the tokens they intend to lend to a pool using a smart contract.

DeFi interest rates offered for a particular token determines how much money you can earn in APR, which obviously is the passive income for the user. The APR on the other hand talks about the borrowing cost of the crypto.

So, when it comes to choosing the best DeFi liquidity pool with the best interest rates and other terms users should do their homework and decide in which protocol they want to invest accordingly.
New users need to understand that the APR they can earn for their digital asset whether Ethereum, USDC, DAI, USDT or others depends upon where they are investing it. The demand for different types of digital assets differs between different liquidity pools. Also, all liquidity pools do not accept all tokens. Different liquidity pools support different token types and users need to understand the terms of the pool they are willing to work with.
