Liquity USD

Liquity USD is the stablecoin side of the Liquity system, meant for people who want a dollar-linked token inside DeFi rather than a bank balance. By our assessment, its main appeal is that it comes from a protocol built around overcollateralized borrowing, so the token is tied to a very specific use case instead of generic payments. The upside is predictability in a crypto setting, at least compared with volatile coins. The downside is that it depends on the health of the broader Liquity mechanism and on the collateral that supports it, so the promise is not magic, just architecture. In practice, a stablecoin like this is useful only as long as the surrounding system is trusted and the peg behaves. Liquity USD is for DeFi users who want a protocol-native dollar token, not for anyone looking for a simple cash replacement.
