Introduction to Liquity: Monetary Policy on Blockchain, Liquity – Decentralized Borrowing Protocol

Running on Ethereum, Liquity offers interest-free loans by issuing its own USD-pegged stablecoin LUSD against ETH used as collateral. Thanks to a novel liquidation mechanism, the loans only need to maintain a minimum collateralization ratio 110%. Price stability does not rely on variable interest rates or human intervention, but is achieved through a redemption mechanism coupled with algorithmically adjusted redemption and loan issuance fees. The protocol incentivizes front end operators and early adopters that drive growth while contributing to system stability.

Notes: On Apr. 3, 2021, 4 months after the cloud field trip, Liquity goes live on Ethereum Mainnet: https://medium.com/liquity/liquity-goes-live-on-ethereum-mainnet-203d295d2fc6, As of May 11, 2022, the total value lock on Liquity is $1.097B.
