The Edge Podcast

Michael Svoboda is CEO at Liquity AG and Max Fiege is Head of Growth.

In this episode, we get an exclusive sneak peek at Liquity V2 and its game-changing innovations set to launch in November. Michael and Max break down how they built this new, unstoppable CDP-based protocol on the foundation of Liquity V1, but with a more capital-efficient borrowing design. Thanks to user-set interest rates, support for LSTs as collateral, and a new sustainable real yield mechanism, Liquity V2 looks nearly ready to issue billions more in DeFi loans and stablecoins.
