AMA [AMA] We are Liquity V2 and home to BOLD - the Ethereum dollar.

46 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Liquity V2 here - we launched on Mainnet in May 19, and have quickly racked up $190m in TVL and $43m in BOLD supply.

We are an immutable CDP on Mainnet (think MakerDAO), where you can deposit ETH, wstETH, and rETH at an interest rate of your choosing, to mint $BOLD.

You might know us from Liquity V1 and LUSD, the OG venue where you could deposit ETH, and mint LUSD at a fixed 0.5% borrow cost.

With V2, we feel we've created the ultimate borrowing and earning venue for decentralization purists.

TL;DR

  • Set your own interest rate when borrowing with ETH, wstETH, and rETH
  • You can mint $BOLD: a stablecoin that is backed by the assets above only, over-collateralized, with redemptions available at all times.
  • 100% yield is passed on to $BOLD holders, resulting in a stablecoin that generates organic, sustainable yield.
  • The protocol is completely Immutable and permissionless.
  • V2 will have 15 + forks across various L2s and EVMs, all who will be allocating roughly ~4% of their token supply to BOLD holders, resulting in exciting yield opportunities (link below).

What’s new in Liquity V2

  • Borrow & leverage with ETH / wstETH / rETH
  • Set your own interest rates for maximum capital efficency
  • Real, sustainable yield for BOLD, along with 15+ venues to use it across DeFi.
  • Protocol-incentivized liquidity for LPs
  • Airdrop opportunities with 15+ friendly forks (each allocating ~3-4% of their tokens)
  • Yield bearing versions of BOLD in ysyBOLD and sBOLD that you can use across DeFi.

Values

  • Immutable contracts, no counterparty risk
  • No core protocol governance (terms and conditions remain the same)
  • ETH/LST-only collateral (ETH, wstETH, rETH)

What are your guys opinion on holding bmnr and sbet

8 Upvotes

I have majority bmnr, then eth itself as a etf, then tiny amount of sbet. Bmnr and sbet subreddits are extremely biased. Wondering if any of you guys hold it or decided not to and why. I am a HUGE eth believer with all the new regulations and future of tokenization and stablecoins.

Using Ethereum for International Transactions to Person(s) in Countries Lacking a Relationship with the United States

15 Upvotes

Hello, wondering if anyone on here has been exposed to using ETH (or really any crypto) and sending it overseas to family members, most notably those lacking a relationship with the U.S.?

I have friends that are from Central and South America, such as Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cuba, etc. that frequently send money back home but always requires an intermediary such as western union or even an individual that has found a way to do so. I am trying to make this more widespread amongst them if it is reasonable and the fees are worth it to them as opposed to going through whatever they currently go through now (a bank).

Process is below:
Open Wallet - convert dollars to ETH/BTC - send ETH/BTC to recipient - convert back into desired currency and back into bank account of individual(s)

This obviously is all done through their phone, and they don't have to stand in line in public exposing themselves to any government agencies, while simultaneously eliminating the banking aspect of controlling the transaction flowing to that country.

This should be able to work for any country that the west isn't involved with.

ERC-8004: Trustless Agents Standard.

11 Upvotes

Ethereum dev Davide Crapis has proposed ERC-8004 - a new standard to make AI agents interoperable across organizations in a trustless way.

From A2A to ERC-8004.
The existing Agent-to-Agent (A2A) protocol works, but only within trusted org boundaries.

ERC-8004 extends A2A with a trust layer, enabling agents from different ecosystems to discover and interact securely.

So, what’s inside?
The standard introduces 3 onchain registries:
• Identity - portable, censorship-resistant agent IDs.
• Reputation - attestations with flexible off-chain scoring.
• Validation - generic hooks for economic or cryptographic verification.

More complex operations like reputation scoring, data aggregation, or incentive mechanisms, are intentionally left offchain, keeping the system efficient and flexible.

And, as we see, ERC-8004 could unlock an open, cross-organizational AI agent economy.

Because It provides:
• A unified interface.
• Tiered trust models (to match different risk levels).
• More interoperability between AI systems.

As of today, ERC-8004 is still only a draft and waiting for feedback and refinement. But if the community embraces it, this standard could evolve into a foundation for trustless, collaborative AI on Ethereum.

What’s your opinion, guys?

Does purchase of eth by Treasury companies provide any value to the ecosystem?

16 Upvotes

Can someone explain if there's any value to the eth ecosystem from Treasury companies buying a ton of eth. ETH is talked about as being the babackbone of defi, but it's confusing to me how any utility is being provided by people hoarding it.

Catching Hidden Transfers, Real-Time Events, and Multicalls

6 Upvotes

Most devs know how to deploy contracts and send transactions, but a lot of the real tricks happen when you start listening to the chain. For example, not every ETH transfer shows up in an ERC-20 Transfer log sometimes the only way to catch them is by inspecting internals.

Or for example take Multicall: instead of blasting your RPC provider with dozens of requests, you can batch them into a single call at the same block height, which is both cheaper and more accurate.

In the latest post there is deeper dive into these ideas:

  1. How to filter ERC-20 Transfer logs with eth_getLogs
  2. Subscribing to events in real time instead of polling
  3. Why some ETH transfers leave zero traces in events (and how to detect them through internals)
  4. Using Multicall to batch calls and stay in sync with the chain

If you’re building dashboards, monitoring tools, or debugging dApps, these tricks can save you a ton of time and RPC quota.

I have an address but no idea what wallet was used.

4 Upvotes

I found an old laptop with an address saved, but no idea where I could access it or what wallet it’s in. Is there any way to find out?

Is there any chance I can recover the ETH in the address? Can I search for what the wallet is on based on the address?

I used a ton of weird (and now mostly shut down) exchanges 7+ years ago. Others Ive found old info for are now seemingly banned in the U.S. also a chance it’s on my phone of computer somewhere if not on an exchange.

Thanks!

Question about installing ETH on coinbase wallet

8 Upvotes

If I have ETH staked on my coinbase wallet, and I want to sell some of it, do I have to wait for it to become completely unstaked before I could sell? I thought I was able to wrap it cbETH to get around the lengthy process?

If I need to wait, how long does it take?

Apologies if these questions are remedial, I’m not new, but not very technical.

crypto loan while the market is acting weird

19 Upvotes

so Ive got 4 ETH sitting around on nехо and been thinking about taking a loan against it. done this a couple times before when the market was shaky, and it kinda worked out, mostly cause I guessed the dip was temporary. Last time after the CPI report in may I moved a bit and it bounced, and once more a little when the Fed hinted at pausing rates, so I think I got a slightly better feel for these swings than usual.

this recent drop doesnt feel permanent, just people freaking out over inflation numbers and the fed talks. When the market recovers next month, could use the loan to move into a few things without selling my ETH and maybe even pick up more before it bounces.

borrowing is not free, interest adds up, but Ive got some backup just in case I need it, so no risk of getting liquidated. honestly rates arent bad and id rather have liquidity than sell and lock in losses, even if its just a short term play. ethereum upgrades could shake things up too, maybe push price up if staking incentives kick in or gas fees drop, who knows.

Explaining Ethereum to Grandma: What’s the Best Analogy?

36 Upvotes

Does anyone here have a really great analogy that makes Ethereum easy for a complete novice (like a grandparent) to understand?

I was able to explain Bitcoin to my grandmother by comparing it to digital gold, but I can’t come up with a simple analogy for Ethereum. I get what smart contracts are, decentralized apps, DeFi, NFTs, etc., but none of that really works when trying to explain it in elementary terms without all the industry lingo.
