Listen for: A strong answer will mention components like collateral management, interest rate models, liquidation mechanisms, and token interactions (e.g., ERC-20, ERC-721). Security considerations should include reentrancy, flash loan attacks, oracle manipulation, integer overflow/underflow, and access control.
