Liquity — Weekly Wrap Up #9

Welcome to the Weekly Wrap Up, a weekly series where I go over all of the highlights in the Liquity ecosystem. This issue covers the week of 6/7–6/13.

What is Liquity? Liquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol that allows you to draw 0% interest loans against Ether used as collateral. Learn more.

System Overview

  • The rate at which new Troves are opening slowed a bit last week — we saw a 5.5% increase in Troves compared to >18% increase the week before.
  • However, this seems to be a symptom of ETH’s price performance as a similar trend is reflected in new ETH denominated Maker Vaults (shown above), which is a good proxy for leverage seeking behavior in DeFi.
  • The LUSD 3Pool on Curve is becoming a popular place to park LUSD as >10% of the supply has made its way to the pool. Even more interesting, this growth came after the extra LQTY rewards were all used up. Total liquidity for the LUSD 3Pool has grown to >$230M.
  • Liquity has 972K ETH locked — $2.4B as of 6/14.
