Protocol Overview

In last month’s newsletter, we covered how the OlympusDAO collaboration made LUSD’s utilization more diverse than ever. We recently had two more major projects enter the mix: Fei Protocol and Synthetix. At time of writing, they have accumulated a combined ~125m LUSD! While Fei has hit their target of 100m LUSD, Synthetix can take on ~25m more LUSD before they reach their cap. More details below on how Synthetix is using LUSD.

Throughout November, > 250m LUSD was minted — making November one of Liquity’s most explosive growth periods. LUSD’s total supply is now at an all-time-high of ~930m since the 5/19 Flash Crash, with 1b in sight as we head towards the end of the year.

Due to the recent increase in LUSD demand and borrowing activity, Liquity generated ~$2.5m in revenue for LQTY stakers this past month and we’ve hit $25m in total revenue since launch!

Speaking of revenue for Liquity users: Dani, our Dune wizard and developer, added historical APR data for the Stability Pool and LQTY staking to the main dashboard here.
