Welcome to the Weekly Wrap Up, a weekly series where we go over all of the highlights within the Liquity ecosystem. This issue covers the week of 10/4–10/11. 

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

• Last month, we saw a sudden shift in market sentiment as ETH quickly went from ~$3900 to ~$2800 — this didn’t last long. ETH has already rallied back up to ~$3600 within the last 14 days, and yet another shift in market sentiment is taking shape as users are starting to borrow LUSD again.
  

• Back in May Liquity hit its first all-time-high Troves count of 1,132. Shortly after that milestone was reached, the flash-crash on 5/19 and bearish market conditions wiped out a large amount of Troves. As you can see above, the Trove count has consistently grown since then and we’ve finally hit a new all-time-high at 1135 Troves! 🎉 
  

• Besides the good news on Liquity’s growth, the protocol and LUSD has gained relevance elsewhere: OlympusDAO. Around three weeks ago, LUSD bonds went live and have dominated their reserve bond volume since then — attracting $28M of LUSD in this short amount of time! This already accounts for 4.6% of the LUSD supply 👀
  

• But the collaboration with OlympusDAO doesn’t stop there. On Oct. 6 we launched an incentivized LUSD / OHM pool (details below) that has quickly attracted almost $17M in liquidity.
