About
Liquity (LQTY)
Liquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol built on the Ethereum blockchain that offers a unique approach to DeFi lending. Its core function is to allow users to draw interest-free loans against their Ether (ETH) collateral. These loans are paid out in LUSD, a fully redeemable, USD-pegged stablecoin. A primary innovation of this digital asset protocol is its exceptional capital efficiency, requiring a minimum collateral ratio of only 110%. This design makes it one of the most accessible on-chain borrowing solutions available within the decentralized finance ecosystem, directly addressing the issue of over-collateralization common in other platforms.
The system’s architecture is rooted in true decentralization. Liquity’s smart contracts are immutable and the protocol operates without any form of governance, minimizing human intervention and creating a more predictable financial instrument. Its robust liquidation mechanism is managed algorithmically and supported by a Stability Pool, where LUSD holders can deposit their tokens to participate in liquidating under-collateralized positions, known as Troves. The native utility token, LQTY, is not a governance token. Instead, its primary function is for staking. By staking LQTY, holders earn a share of the protocol fees generated from LUSD issuance and redemptions, providing a direct revenue stream from the protocol's core operations.

Frequently asked questions
-
What is the CHF/LQTY trading pair and its relevance in DeFi?
The CHF/LQTY pair represents the exchange rate between the Swiss Franc (CHF) and the Liquity protocol's secondary token (LQTY). Its relevance lies in providing a direct fiat on-ramp for Swiss investors into the Liquity ecosystem. Liquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol that allows users to draw interest-free loans in the LUSD stablecoin against Ethereum collateral. Acquiring LQTY with CHF enables participation in the protocol's revenue stream through staking. -
What are the common methods to purchase LQTY tokens with Swiss Francs (CHF)?
To purchase LQTY with CHF, you typically need to use a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that supports CHF deposits and lists the LQTY token. The most common deposit method is a SEPA or standard bank transfer from a Swiss bank account. Once your account is funded with CHF, you can navigate to the CHF/LQTY trading pair on the exchange's order book and place a buy order for this digital asset. -
What is the primary utility of staking LQTY tokens obtained via a CHF purchase?
The primary utility of staking LQTY is to earn a share of the protocol fees generated by the Liquity system. These fees come from two sources: issuance fees when users open a 'Trove' (collateralized debt position) to borrow LUSD, and redemption fees when LUSD is redeemed. By staking LQTY, a holder who started with CHF can directly capture the revenue generated by this core DeFi protocol's operations, without needing to interact with the borrowing side. -
What KYC/AML compliance is required for CHF to LQTY transactions?
When using a centralized cryptocurrency exchange as a fiat on-ramp, you will almost certainly be required to complete Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) verification. For a CHF transaction, this involves submitting government-issued identification and proof of address to comply with Swiss financial regulations. This is a standard security procedure for any regulated platform facilitating fiat-to-crypto digital asset purchases. -
After buying LQTY with CHF, what are the best practices for securing my tokens?
The highest security practice is to move your LQTY tokens from the cryptocurrency exchange to a non-custodial digital wallet where you control the private keys. Options include hardware wallets (most secure) or reputable software wallets. This protects your digital assets from exchange-specific risks like hacks or freezes. From your personal wallet, you can then securely interact with the Liquity protocol's smart contract to stake your LQTY and earn protocol fees.
