Liquity V2: A BOLD Step Forward For A DeFi Pioneer

Michael Svoboda is CEO at Liquity AG and Max Fiege is Head of Growth. In this episode, we get an exclusive sneak peek at Liquity V2 and its game-changing innovations set to launch in November. Michael and Max break down how they built this new, unstoppable CDP-based protocol on the foundation of Liquity V1, but with a more capital-efficient borrowing design. Thanks to user-set interest rates, support for LSTs as collateral, and a new sustainable real yield mechanism, Liquity V2 looks nearly ready to issue billions more in DeFi loans and stablecoins. ------ 🔗 Essential Show Links 🔗 ► Youtube: https://youtube.com/@defidad ► Apple: https://tinyurl.com/edgepod ► Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/edgepodspotify ► Linktree: https://linktr.ee/edge_pod ► Follow DeFi Dad: https://twitter.com/DeFi_Dad ► Follow Nomatic: https://twitter.com/Nomaticcap ► Learn about DeFi and Web3: http://defidad.com/ ------ The Edge Podcast Sponsor Resources ♦️ REDSTONE ORACLES | THE FASTEST GROWING ORACLE FOR DEFI ☀️ SUMMER.FI | THE BEST PLACE TO BORROW AND EARN IN DEFI 🧙 MERLIN CHAIN | THE RISE OF BITCOIN'S LARGEST LAYER 2 🔥 FBTC | YOUR GATEWAY TO BITCOIN EARNINGS 🍵 MATCHA | THE BEST PRICE ON OVER 5 MILLION TOKENS 🐡 PUFFER FINANCE | LIQUID RESTAKING FOR THE LITTLE FISH 🌕 MOONBEAM | INTEGRATED WEB3 FOR BUILDERS AND USERS ------ Timestamps 0:00 - Intro 5:41 - Why Liquity V2 8:59 - Why the team redesigned initial V2 ideas 11:06 - Will V1 continue to operate on Ethereum? 12:19 - A new stablecoin called BOLD 16:42 - Collaterals for Liquity V2 18:50 - User-set interest rates 25:54 - Can users change interest rates? 27:54 - FBTC mid-roll 28:34 - Potential strategies for Liquity V2 32:19 - New sustainable yield mechanism 35:41 - A new market-driven rate for DeFi 37:28 - Liquity V2 forking strategy 43:07 - What is Protocol Incentivized Liquidity (PIL)? 47:09 - Moonbeam mid-roll 47:54 - Governance-lite design 50:15 - How will Liquity V2 attract users? 53:46 - When V2? / Closing ------ 🔗 Guest Links 🔗 ► Liquity Website: https://www.liquity.org/ ► Liquity V2 Landing Page: https://www.liquity.org/liquity-v2 ► Liquity on Twitter: https://x.com/liquityprotocol ► Michael Svoboda on Twitter: https://x.com/svobodamichael ► Max Fiege on Twitter: https://x.com/fiege_max ------ If you're a DeFi/Web3 builder, contact our team at: https://fourthrevolution.capital/ All opinions expressed by hosts and podcast guests are solely their own opinions and not necessarily those of Fourth Revolution Capital.
