What is the difference between Lending & Borrowing and Perps DEXs?

Lending & Borrowing: Protocols enabling decentralized lending and borrowing of crypto assets with algorithmic interest rates. Perps DEXs: Onchain perpetual futures venues — Hyperliquid, dYdX, GMX, Jupiter Perps, Aevo and the rest of the perps DEX layer. The narratives may share constituent tokens (many crypto projects fit multiple narratives) but represent distinct capital-flow units.
