Liquity v2: Revolutionizing DeFi Borrowing
Liquity v2: Revolutionizing DeFi Borrowing
🎭 DeFi's plot twist
Liquity v2 is set to transform DeFi borrowing by allowing users to set their own rates. This innovative approach addresses limitations in current models like Money Markets and governance-based CDPs. Key benefits include:
- True market formation: Rates reflect real supply and demand
- User control: Borrowers set rates based on market expectations
- Flexibility: Rates can be adjusted as conditions change
Liquity v2 aims to create a benchmark DeFi market interest rate, fostering a more cohesive ecosystem. The team will be present at upcoming events and welcomes discussions with DeFi enthusiasts and ecosystem builders.
Liquity v2 will bring in a new era for borrowing in DeFi. @SamExotic3 gave a talk @EthCC highlighting why: - Not everyone in DeFi needs to pay the same rates - Liquity v2 is achkyually DeFi Watch his talk 👇 ethcc.io/archive/The-en… (ps: hit us in the DM's if you'd like to run
