Specifically, for stable and LST(Liquidity Staking Assets) pools, an interest rate model is introduced that aligns with the characteristics of 1) pegging and 2) a lower farming APY compared to volatile pools. This interest model functions similarly to a fixed borrowing rate mechanism before it hits a utilization threshold.

{% hint style="info" %}
It's important to note that the 5% fixed borrowing rate in the chart below is not a static figure but rather subject to market conditions and borrowing demand. The parameter will be regularly reviewed and updated under a governance procedure.
