# InterestRateModel

## Compound's InterestRateModel Interface

## Solidity API

#### getBorrowRate

Calculates the current borrow interest rate per block

```solidity
function getBorrowRate(uint256 cash, uint256 borrows, uint256 reserves, uint256 badDebt) external view virtual returns (uint256)
```

**Parameters**

| Name     | Type    | Description                                            |
| -------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| cash     | uint256 | The total amount of cash the market has                |
| borrows  | uint256 | The total amount of borrows the market has outstanding |
| reserves | uint256 | The total amount of reserves the market has            |
| badDebt  | uint256 | The amount of badDebt in the market                    |

**Return Values**

| Name | Type    | Description                                                     |
| ---- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \[0] | uint256 | The borrow rate per block (as a percentage, and scaled by 1e18) |

***

#### getSupplyRate

Calculates the current supply interest rate per block

```solidity
function getSupplyRate(uint256 cash, uint256 borrows, uint256 reserves, uint256 reserveFactorMantissa, uint256 badDebt) external view virtual returns (uint256)
```

**Parameters**

| Name                  | Type    | Description                                            |
| --------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| cash                  | uint256 | The total amount of cash the market has                |
| borrows               | uint256 | The total amount of borrows the market has outstanding |
| reserves              | uint256 | The total amount of reserves the market has            |
| reserveFactorMantissa | uint256 | The current reserve factor the market has              |
| badDebt               | uint256 | The amount of badDebt in the market                    |

**Return Values**

| Name | Type    | Description                                                     |
| ---- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------- |
| \[0] | uint256 | The supply rate per block (as a percentage, and scaled by 1e18) |

***

#### isInterestRateModel

Indicator that this is an InterestRateModel contract (for inspection)

```solidity
function isInterestRateModel() external pure virtual returns (bool)
```

**Return Values**

| Name | Type | Description |
| ---- | ---- | ----------- |
| \[0] | bool | Always true |

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-v4.venus.io/technical-reference/reference-isolated-pools/interest-rate-models/interest-rate-model.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
