Liquity is Broken, Long Live Liquity w/ Colin Platt

DeFi Mogul Colin Platt from Liquity comes on the episode to discuss the announcement of Liquity v2. We talked about the challenges faced by the Liquidity V1 protocol due to changing interest rates and the need for a new design. Liquity V2 introduces an interest rate model that allows users to set their own rates and borrow at a fee they find reasonable. The redemption mechanism is redesigned to create an internal market, where borrowers paying the least for their debt are redeemed first. The revenue generated from interest rates is split between the redemption pool and protocol incentivized liquidity pools. The protocol aims to target users who value decentralization and need stablecoins backed without links to the fiat world.
