Liquity — Weekly Wrap Up #20
Derrick Nguyen
November 22, 2021
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 11/15–11/21.
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
Despite last week’s market turbulence, Liquity users minted over 120M LUSD and pushed LUSD’s total supply to a six month high of 860M!
Last week’s spike in LUSD supply could be due to an increase in buy side demand from two new integrations: Fei Protocol’s Balancer auction to acquire 100M LUSD and the Synthetix LUSD/sUSD wrapper. At time of writing, both of these integrations have attracted a combined 64M LUSD — adding even more diversity to LUSD’s utilization chart. More details below.
In the last Weekly Wrap Up, we touched on the borrowing fee reaching its ceiling of 5%. Good news: the peg is restored, redemptions have slowed, and the fee has returned back to ~0.5%. Happy borrowing!
Integrations
Synthetix’s LUSD/sUSD wrapper contract is now live, which means LUSD can be used to mint sUSD on Optimism. Guide here.
