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 does the THB/LQTY trading pair represent in the DeFi space?
The THB/LQTY pair indicates the exchange rate between the Thai Baht (THB) and Liquity (LQTY), the secondary token of the Liquity protocol. This pair serves as a direct fiat on-ramp for users in Thailand to acquire LQTY, which allows them to earn protocol fees from staking. The Liquity protocol itself facilitates interest-free borrowing of the LUSD stablecoin against Ethereum (ETH) collateral held in a user's 'Trove'. -
What are the common methods to buy LQTY with Thai Baht?
To purchase LQTY with THB, you typically use a centralized cryptocurrency exchange that offers a THB/LQTY order book. The process involves creating an account, completing KYC/AML compliance, and funding your account with THB via Thai bank transfer or QR code payment (PromptPay). Once funded, you can place an order to buy the digital asset. After purchase, it is best practice to withdraw the LQTY to a secure, self-custody digital wallet. -
What is the primary function of LQTY tokens acquired via the THB market?
The primary function of LQTY is staking. By staking LQTY tokens, holders are entitled to a pro-rata share of the protocol's revenue. This revenue is generated from borrowing fees (paid in LUSD stablecoin) and redemption fees (paid in ETH) when users close their collateralized debt positions, or 'Troves'. This mechanism incentivizes holding and securing the protocol, differentiating it from a pure governance token. -
What is the role of the Stability Pool in the Liquity protocol, and how does it relate to risk?
The Stability Pool is the first line of defense in maintaining system solvency. Users can deposit their LUSD stablecoins into this pool to help absorb the debt from liquidated Troves. In return, depositors receive a pro-rata share of the liquidated ETH collateral, often at a discount. The risk is that when a liquidation occurs, a portion of your deposited LUSD is burned to repay the debt, but you are compensated with potentially more valuable ETH. -
Are there specific blockchain network fees to consider when moving LQTY purchased with THB?
Yes, Liquity (LQTY) is an ERC-20 token on the Ethereum blockchain. When you withdraw LQTY from an exchange to a private wallet or interact with staking contracts, you will need to pay Ethereum network transaction fees, known as 'gas'. These gas fees are paid in ETH, are variable depending on network congestion, and are separate from any trading fees on the exchange.
