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
-
How can I purchase Liquity (LQTY) using Norwegian Krone (NOK)?
To purchase the LQTY digital asset with NOK, you typically need to use a cryptocurrency exchange that serves as a fiat on-ramp for Norwegian customers. The process involves creating an account, completing KYC/AML verification, depositing NOK via methods like a bank transfer or debit card, and then executing a trade on the LQTY/NOK trading pair if available. If a direct pair doesn't exist, you may need to first buy a major cryptocurrency like BTC or ETH with your NOK and then trade it for LQTY. -
What is the primary function of the LQTY token within the Liquity protocol?
The LQTY token is the secondary token of the Liquity protocol, a decentralized borrowing protocol on Ethereum. Its core utility is staking. By staking LQTY tokens, holders can earn a share of the fee revenue generated by the protocol. These fees are collected from LUSD stablecoin issuance (borrowing) and redemptions, paid in ETH and LUSD, providing a direct yield from the protocol's activity. -
What are the typical fees when converting NOK to LQTY on an exchange?
There are several fees to consider. First, a deposit fee for funding your account with NOK via bank transfer. Second, a trading fee (either maker or taker) on the order book, which is a percentage of the transaction value. Finally, when you move your LQTY off the exchange to a secure digital wallet, you'll pay a withdrawal fee. Since LQTY is an ERC-20 token, this withdrawal fee includes the Ethereum network's gas fees, which can fluctuate based on network congestion. -
After buying LQTY with NOK, what is the most secure way to store it?
The most secure method for storing your LQTY tokens is in a personal digital wallet where you control the private keys. For maximum security, a hardware wallet (cold storage) like Ledger or Trezor is recommended. For active participation in DeFi or staking LQTY, a non-custodial software wallet (hot wallet) like MetaMask is a common choice. Leaving assets on a centralized exchange is less secure as you do not have custody of your own keys, making you vulnerable to exchange-specific risks. -
Are there direct benefits to using NOK for Liquity (LQTY) transactions?
For users in Norway, the primary benefit is convenience and potential cost savings. Using NOK directly as a fiat on-ramp avoids double currency conversion fees (e.g., NOK to EUR/USD, then to crypto). This provides a more streamlined and direct gateway into the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem of Liquity, allowing you to acquire the LQTY staking token with your local currency without unnecessary intermediate steps or associated costs.
