Liquity is positioning its V2 protocol and $BOLD stablecoin as a fully decentralized alternative as the stablecoin market splits between regulated commodities and decentralized protocols.​

Key Features:

  • Ethereum-native with no intermediaries or governance
  • Immutable smart contracts
  • Borrow $BOLD against ETH and LSTs
  • Predictable yield for holders

Recent Performance:

  • Successfully processed $1.​1M in liquidations
  • ETH Stability Pool depositors earned 192.​57% APR during recent event
  • $BOLD maintained $1 peg throughout volatility
  • Multiple yield venues offering 20%+ APR

Yield Opportunities:

  • Stability Pools: 8-100%+ APR from liquidations and borrower fees
  • LP positions: 13-34.​55% APR across Ekubo, Curve, Uniswap
  • sBOLD/yBOLD: Auto-compounding options via Pendle and Spectra

Liquity argues the middle ground of "trust me bro" stablecoins with multisigs and opaque yield will be eliminated, leaving only fully regulated and purely decentralized options.​ Built by the team behind LUSD, which reached $5B TVL over 4+ years with zero governance interference.​

The stablecoin market is splitting in two: ✅ Fully regulated commodities ✅ Purely decentralized protocols Everything else - the 'trust me bro zone' of multisigs and opaque yield - gets cleared out. $BOLD is betting on decentralization winning.

The “trust me bro zone” always ends with gates. Liquity V2 is the self-sovereign alternative, the ultimate freedom protocol: Ethereum-native, no intermediaries, and immutable. Borrow $BOLD against ETH on your terms Hold $BOLD to earn predictable yield. Full control, always.

Ethereum needs sovereign crypto dollars - not tokenized fiat strategies with multiple layers of counterparty risk. That @ethereum dollar is $BOLD. Check out our interview on @therollupco 👇

Liquity Allocates 20,000 BOLD Weekly to LP Rewards

Liquity Allocates 20,000 BOLD Weekly to LP Rewards

Liquity is distributing **20,000 BOLD tokens weekly** to liquidity providers on Curve and Uniswap. **Key Details:** - Curve Finance LPs earning ~11% APR - Uniswap LPs earning ~12% APR - Rewards paid in addition to standard swap fees - LQTY stakers can direct rewards to specific pools **How It Works:** The rewards program aims to incentivize liquidity for BOLD, Liquity's V2 stablecoin. LQTY token stakers have governance rights to allocate these rewards toward pools they believe will drive protocol growth or where they're providing liquidity themselves. These yields represent sustainable, ongoing rewards rather than temporary promotional rates.

BOLD Stability Pool Depositors Earn Yield from Four Liquidation Events Since October

BOLD Stability Pool Depositors Earn Yield from Four Liquidation Events Since October

**Liquity V2's Stability Pool continues to generate returns for BOLD depositors through liquidation events.** Since October 10th, the protocol has processed **four liquidation events**, each creating yield spikes for Stability Pool participants. While these events are unpredictable in timing, they consistently occur and provide reliable returns. **Recent performance highlights:** - ~$300k in liquidations processed (primarily ETH) - ETH SP depositors earned approximately **0.30% ROI** per event - Annualized returns reached **110% APR** during liquidations - BOLD maintained its $1 peg throughout all events The protocol operates entirely through **immutable smart contracts**, providing trustless yield generation. Depositors earn returns by providing liquidity that absorbs liquidated collateral when borrowers' positions fall below required thresholds. While liquidation timing remains uncertain, the consistent pattern demonstrates a proven mechanism for BOLD holders to earn passive income through Stability Pool deposits.
