About Liquity

Liquity (LQTY) is a decentralized borrowing protocol allowing users to draw 0-interest loans against ETH collateral, paying only a one-time borrowing fee. LUSD is Liquity's USD stablecoin — algorithmically stable with a $1 hard floor (ETH can always be redeemed for $1 of LUSD) and a soft ceiling via redemptions. Uniquely, Liquity's contracts are immutable and non-upgradeable — no admin keys exist. LQTY captures protocol revenue from borrowing fees, distributed to Stability Pool depositors and liquidity providers. Liquity v2 launched in 2024 with multi-collateral support.

Your swap processes automatically — the destination token arrives in your wallet once the Ethereum transaction is confirmed.
