Liquity USD FAQ
What is Liquity USD (LUSD)?
Liquity USD (LUSD) is a decentralized stablecoin launched in 2021 on the Ethereum blockchain. It is minted by borrowing against Ether (ETH) as collateral within the Liquity protocol and is designed to trade at or near the US dollar.
How does Liquity USD work?
Liquity USD (LUSD) is created when users lock ETH as collateral in the Liquity protocol and take out a loan. The protocol maintains the peg through a stability pool that absorbs liquidations and a redemption mechanism that allows LUSD to be exchanged for ETH at face value. Loans are interest-free, with a one-time borrowing fee.
What is LUSD token used for?
LUSD serves as a stable medium of exchange and savings asset pegged to the US dollar. In the Liquity ecosystem, holders can deposit LUSD into the stability pool to earn rewards from liquidation penalties and borrowing fees, while also helping to back the protocol's collateral.
How does LUSD differ from other stablecoins?
LUSD differs from fiat-backed stablecoins such as USDC because it is overcollateralized by ETH and has no centralized custodian. Its protocol also offers zero interest borrowing and relies on algorithmic risk tools like the stability pool and redemptions, distinguishing it from algorithmic or asset-backed alternatives.
