Shift to Liquity or open a leveraged Trove & win $LQTY

nikola_j -

This weekend's turmoil around USDC has shown us how important it would be to have a fully decentralised stablecoin and one that is completely verifiably backed by highest quality collateral.

We're lucky to already have one such candidate in the ecosystem. The stablecoin that seemed to be the least affected by the quickly spreading contagion was LUSD, a stablecoin issued by the Liquity protocol and backed fully (and solely) by ETH.

While LUSD did temporarily succumb to the market pressure this weekend, it slid off its designed peg the least and quickly returned to 1.00, thanks to the LUSD redemptions mechanism which allows for arbitrage whenever the it falls below $1.00, something that you can read more about here in their docs.

In terms of the protocol itself, Liquity went live in April 2021, with the DeFi Saver integration following shortly after in June. Since then we have provided a number of unique tools for the Liquity ecosystem:

  • Creating instantly leveraged Troves
  • Unwinding or self-liquidating Troves in one transaction
  • Moving existing positions to Liquity through the use of our Loan Shifter
  • Automated stop loss, take profit and trailing stop options
  • LUSD bonds support (Chicken Bonds)
    (with automation options that tie Liquity and Chicken Bonds together)
  • Liquity Troves explorer (https://liquity.defiexplore.com/)

On top of all this, we recently ran a promo with the Liquity team (for which winners have just been announced!) and today we're super happy to announce yet another one!
