The Liquity ETH Carry vault on IPOR Fusion has opened an additional 1,000 ETH of capacity after the previous cap filled up. The vault offers 7% APR paid in ETH, with yield sourced from Liquity V2 and Curve Finance, and helps grow $BOLD liquidity.
Liquity is promoting the IPOR ETH carry vault, which yields about 8% on deposited ETH and adds a boost for users who borrow against it. The promotion highlights the vault as a way to get paid to borrow within the Liquity ecosystem.
The announcement links the vault's carry yield to Liquity's borrowing mechanics, pitching it as an easy source of yield for depositors.
Base Dollar, a Liquity fork, launched on Base. Users can borrow its BD against ETH, LSTs and cbBTC, with AERO and AERO LP collateral coming soon, and earn via Stability Pools or LP-ing. Non-redeemable branches are planned, and there is an 850% APR incentive to LP BD/USDC on Aerodrome.
A ysyBOLD looping strategy via FlexMeow offers up to 45% APR. Users can post ysyBOLD (7% APR) as collateral and loop USDC against it. Liquity highlights the loop as backed only by ETH, always redeemable, and sourced from sustainable Liquity V2 borrower yield.
A new sBOLD market is now live on Pendle, letting users trade fixed vs variable rates on Liquity V2's Stability Pool. Options include PT-sBOLD (locking the implied fixed rate to Feb 2027 maturity), YT-sBOLD (leveraged exposure to variable rates, liquidations and airdrops) and LP sBOLD (earning swap fees).
Liquity flagged that many V1 Stability Pool depositors still have unclaimed ETH and LQTY rewards. A new DeFi Saver tool lets users check eligibility and claim what's owed. DeFi Saver reports $67M+ in unclaimed tokens across 87K smart wallets DeFi-wide, including blue-chip assets like ETH, USDT, sUSDS and WBTC.
Liquity's yBOLD (~10% APR) can now be used as collateral on Frankencoin. Users can borrow ZCHF at up to 85% LTV while the yBOLD collateral keeps earning ~10% APR, continuing to compound.
The Liquity Carry vault on IPOR Fusion opened an additional 1,500 ETH of capacity, offering ~8-10% APR paid in ETH. Yield comes from Liquity V2 and Curve, and the expansion deepens BOLD liquidity.
A separate PIL (protocol incentive) initiative has been proposed to further boost the vault, which has already attracted ~$1.5M in TVL. The incentive would pay bribes to LQTY stakers for three months while growing BOLD supply.
Following the redesigned relaunch triggered by the Stability Pool issue, Liquity V2 (BOLD) went live again on Ethereum mainnet with the patched codebase.
After discovering a vulnerability in the V2 Stability Pool ('Earn') deposits, Liquity confirmed the issue on Feb 13, 2025 and said V2 would be redeployed with a patch; no users were reported impacted, but roughly $30M of outflows followed the disclosure.
Liquity V2 deployed to Ethereum mainnet, introducing the BOLD stablecoin and user-set borrowing rates, letting borrowers choose their own interest rate on ETH and liquid-staked ETH collateral.
Liquity's decentralized borrowing protocol went live on Ethereum mainnet after a year and a half of development, enabling 0% interest LUSD loans against ETH collateral, with LQTY token rewards live from launch (100,000,000 total supply).
Liquity announced a $6 million Series A funding round led by Pantera Capital, with follow-on investments from Nima Capital, Alameda Research, Greenfield.one, IOSG, and AngelDAO, bringing total funding to over $8 million ahead of mainnet launch.
Liquity announced a $2.4 million seed funding round led by Polychain Capital, with participation from a_capital, Lemniscap, 1kx, DFINITY Ecosystem Fund, Robot Ventures, and Alex Pack, following an earlier pre-seed led by Tomahawk.VC.
