Can Liquity V2 Solve The Stablecoin Trilemma?
Robert Lauko is the Founder and Head of Research at Liquity. Michael Svoboda is CEO at Liquity.
In this episode, we dive into what we anticipate to be one of the most radical decentralized stablecoin upgrades–Liquity V2. Two years after launching what most of us regard as the most decentralized stablecoin in DeFi, LUSD, and having issued over $4.5b worth of interest free loans, it was recently announced at EthCC that Liquity is developing “an alternative product that aims to crack the stablecoin trilemma.” Although Liquity V2 is not scheduled to release until Q2-2024, Robert and Michael gave us a rare first look at some of the mechanics and features behind the upcoming Liquity V2 protocol.
