What “Lending, Borrowing, and Yield (and the Catch)” is in this school
Lending, Borrowing, and Yield (and the Catch) is the constraints chapter inside Crypto's Unit 8 — DeFi, NFTs, and the Wider Ecosystem unit. ClearPath writes it as a building block — not a brokerage note and not a promise of profit.
Stay inside this school’s framing: plain language, honest tradeoffs, and DATA UNAVAILABLE for any vendor cell this page does not fill.
Core idea for this lesson
This chapter’s study angle is constraints — capital, time, attention, and custody limits that change the answer. When professionals mention “Lending, Borrowing, and Yield (and the Catch)”, they are usually pointing at that angle — not a guaranteed setup.
Write one sentence that uses the words “Lending, Borrowing, and Yield (and the Catch)” and names the angle. If you cannot, re-read slowly — the goal is ownership of the idea, not finishing the list.
