Liquity takes a stand for authentic DeFi principles with their latest manifesto declaring "DeFi without decentralization is nothing."
Key highlights:
- Liquity V2 launches as trustless and immutable (matching V1's standards)
- Strong support for permissionless DeFi free from middlemen
- Promotes $BOLD as the Ethereum dollar stablecoin
- Treasury holds over 5% in crypto stables to support the ecosystem
The bigger picture: This aligns with Liquity's consistent messaging about supporting Ethereum-backed stablecoins and putting "bags where your chain is." Their approach emphasizes true decentralization over centralized alternatives.
Why it matters: As DeFi matures, projects like Liquity are drawing clear lines between genuinely decentralized protocols and those that merely use DeFi branding while maintaining centralized control structures.
DeFi stables help support @ethereum support crypto backed stablecoins be BOLD.
Liquity treasury holds well over 5% in crypto stables. This supports our ecosystem because - BOLD brings value to @ethereum - BOLD creates demand for ETH What about your treasury? Put your bags where your chain is.
Move $15+ BILLION from TradFi onchain. All it takes is a 5% shift from CeFi>DeFi stables. CeFi stables support Wall Street. DeFi stables support Ethereum. Swapping into DeFi stables like... - $BOLD: ETH & LSTs coll - $crvUSD: BTC/ETH & crypto coll - $fxUSD: ETH & BTC coll -
