This upfront interest is intended to ensure that when the loan request is provided liquidity, the created bond will have enough interest to stay above the Interest Buffer minimum threshold

A Borrow Request can be canceled anytime after it has been created and the borrow volume has not been fully disbursed. Only borrower can cancel their borrow request
Borrower also can change stake key attach to the borrow request
8. Can I repay interest in installments?
Yes. For bonds with durations greater than 10 epochs, borrowers may repay a minimum initial interest payment of 10 epochs, while the remaining interest can be paid later. However, the borrower must maintain a minimum interest buffer of 6 epochs. If not, the bond will incur a penalty
9. Is there a penalty for a bond closing before maturity?
When the bond fails to maintain the Interest Buffer above the minimum threshold, it can be closed immediately.
At redemption, the lender may receive additional interest for up to 6 epochs of Interest Buffer and regain the original ADA immediately
10. What is an Interest Buffer (or Minimum Interest Buffer)?
Minimum Interest Buffer is the minimum amount of interest that must be kept in the bond at all times. If the interest buffer is not maintained, the ADA in the smart contract is no longer locked and the lender can redeem it, at which point the borrower loses the ability to attach their stake key
11. When can a bond be canceled/closed?
An Active bond can be closed if the borrower does not fulfill the bond's terms by failing to provide adequate interest to maintain the Interest Buffer above the minimum threshold (6 epochs).
An active bond can also be closed once it reaches maturity.
