    4. Liquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain, utilizing the stablecoin LQTY pegged to the USD. Ethereum holders can take out loans in the form of LQTY with algorithmically adjusted fees.

    Introduction to Liquity (LQTY)

    Liquity offers a collateral-debt ratio of 110% against ETH collateral, with loans issued in the form of the LUSD stablecoin. Compared to other DeFi lending platforms, the 110% ratio is relatively low due to Liquity's instant liquidation mechanism.

    How Liquity (LQTY) Works

    Liquidity providers (LPs) solidify the Liquity system by holding LUSD stablecoins and depositing them into Stability Pools. They also earn additional rewards through the LQTY token. Liquity relies on smart contracts, offering three key advantages over traditional finance:

    * No need for credit history or identity verification, as all parties interact with self-regulating smart contracts. * Smart contracts pool liquidity to make borrowing possible. * Smart contracts automatically liquidate loan collateral.

    Role of the LQTY Token

    LQTY tokens reward liquidity providers of the Stability Pool to protect the system against debt liquidations. LQTY also has other roles:

    * Encouraging frontend operators to build web interfaces leveraging Liquity Protocol with its smart contracts. * LQTY token holders can stake them with no lock-up period to earn a portion of the fees paid for lending and redeeming LUSD stablecoins.

    Unlike most DeFi tokens, LQTY is a utility token without a governance function, avoiding risks of vote concentration among whale holders.

    The Liquity protocol offers innovative solutions in the DeFi space, making interest-free loans accessible and simplifying the borrowing process through smart contracts.
