Advocate for Dedicated Lending Category in Pera Discover

Summary

Pera Discover currently groups lending protocols under the broader DeFi category. As the Algorand ecosystem matures, lending has become a significant category deserving dedicated visibility.

Motivation

Users seeking lending products currently must browse the broader DeFi section, which contains multiple application types including exchanges, staking, governance, and other financial services.

A dedicated Lending category would:

• Improve user discovery.
• Better showcase lending protocols.
• Create clearer ecosystem segmentation.
• Increase visibility for lending-focused applications such as DorkFi.

Tasks

• Document current category structure within Discover.
• Prepare rationale for creation of a Lending category.
• Engage with the Pera team to discuss category expansion.
• Identify other lending protocols that would benefit from a dedicated category.
• Gather ecosystem support where appropriate.

Acceptance Criteria

• Proposal outlining benefits of a Lending category is prepared.
• Feedback is obtained from Pera regarding feasibility.
• Follow-up action items are documented.
