Three Sigma, a notable team in the blockchain space, has conducted a comprehensive review of our V2 codebase. Their analysis provides an in-depth look at the structure and functionality of our latest version.
Key points:
- Thorough examination of V2 codebase by Three Sigma
- Detailed overview of the code structure and features
- Potential implications of this analysis remain unclear
The motivation behind Three Sigma's extensive review is currently unknown, sparking curiosity within our team. This unexpected scrutiny may indicate:
- Interest in our technology
- Potential collaboration opportunities
- Competitive analysis
We'll continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as more information becomes available.
For those interested in the technical aspects, we recommend reviewing Three Sigma's analysis to gain insights into our V2 codebase.
Great overview of our V2 codebase by the team over at Three Sigma. Wonder why they were giving it such a thorough look...

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).
BOLD Stablecoin Receives A- Rating from Bluechip, Outranking USDC and DAI

**BOLD stablecoin has secured an A- rating from Bluechip**, making it the only crypto-native stablecoin to achieve an A-tier rating. This places BOLD above established competitors like USDC and DAI, which both received B+ ratings. **Key highlights:** - First crypto-native stablecoin with A-tier rating - Rated higher than USDC (B+) and DAI (B+) - Cannot be frozen, unlike centralized alternatives The rating reflects BOLD's strong fundamentals and decentralized architecture. Users can access BOLD through [Liquity's platform](https://liquity.app/borrow) or purchase it via [DeFi aggregators](https://swap.defillama.com/). View the full Bluechip rating analysis at [bluechip.org](https://bluechip.org/en/coins/bold) and read the detailed breakdown at [Liquity's blog](http://www.liquity.org/blog/bold-receives-a--rating-from-bluechip).

๐ 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.
