馃敀 Liquity V2 Launches Three Isolated Markets with Fixed Rates and Zero Governance
Liquity V2 has introduced a new borrowing structure featuring three completely isolated markets, each supporting a single collateral type. **Key Features:** - **Three separate markets:** ETH, wstETH (1% borrow rate), and rETH - **Zero contagion risk:** Each market operates independently with no shared pools - **Fixed interest rates:** Predictable borrowing costs across all markets - **No governance or admin keys:** Immutable protocol design The architecture ensures that risks remain isolated to individual collateral types, eliminating cross-contamination between markets. This design contrasts with traditional DeFi lending protocols that pool multiple assets together. [Learn more about Liquity V2](https://liquity.org)
