Lending and borrowing are key DeFi primitives, showing that farmers engage in more than basic swaps. By supplying liquidity or borrowing assets, users demonstrate deeper involvement in financial protocols. Projects reward this because lending markets strengthen ecosystem liquidity and stability. Farmers who use lending dApps—such as Aave or Compound—are seen as valuable, sophisticated participants. This activity is visible on-chain, making it easy to track. Beyond airdrops, lending and borrowing generate passive yield or leverage opportunities. Active use of these mechanisms strongly boosts eligibility scores and positions farmers as long-term supporters rather than opportunistic actors.
