Liquity V2 Offers 0.5% Borrowing Rate with Redemption Protection
**Liquity V2 now features three isolated collateral branches:** - ETH - wstETH - rETH Each branch operates with its own Stability Pool. When a branch's Stability Pool exceeds its total debt, that branch becomes protected from redemptions. **Key rates:** - rETH: 0.5% (up to 700k) - wstETH: 0.9% - ETH: 2.79% The protocol uses immutable contracts with fixed rates set by individual borrowers. These features are now visible across Liquity frontends at [liquity.app/borrow](http://liquity.app/borrow).

🔒 The Stablecoin Paradox
**The Challenge of Decentralized Finance** A critical perspective from Stacy Muur highlights a fundamental contradiction in Ethereum's DeFi ecosystem: true censorship resistance cannot exist when the primary stablecoins remain subject to centralized freezing mechanisms. **BOLD's Approach** - Earned an **A- rating** from Bluechip with perfect 1.0 decentralization scores - 100% backed by staked ETH with immutable, unstoppable protocol design - No admin keys, governance, or ability to freeze user funds - Passes Vitalik Buterin's five critical tests for decentralized systems **Key Distinction** The analysis emphasizes that crypto-backed stablecoins fundamentally differ from bank-backed alternatives, even when ratings appear similar. Technical implementation determines whether money can truly be censorship-resistant.
