What this is
Decentralised financeBENQI is the main lending protocol of the Avalanche network: interest-bearing deposits, collateralized loans and AVAX liquid staking in one place. For Avalanche it is what Aave is for Ethereum — the base layer the rest of the local DeFi stands on. The protocol's fate is directly tied to the network's: when market attention left Avalanche, volumes fell with it, even though the protocol itself has run without failures since 2021.

How to read this
- Funding is a payment between longs and shorts. A positive rate means longs pay shorts: the market is crowded long.
- The rate rank shows how unusual that rate is for this particular coin: 97 means above 97% of the last month, a rare skew. Without the rank the bare number says nothing — every coin has its own normal.
- Open interest is the money sitting in positions that are still open. Rising alongside price means new money entering; rising while price falls means shorts building up.
- The OI rank is measured in contracts rather than dollars: otherwise it would drift up with price alone and claim a record where nothing changed.
- NATR shows how much a coin moves relative to its own price. High NATR with high turnover is where today's action is.
