Summary
Liquity is a new governance-minimized stablecoin on Ethereum!
Liquidity offers some competitive advantages over other decentralized stablecoins
- Low collateral requirements. Only 110% collateral is required vs MakerDAOs 150%
- Governance minimization. Liquity is attempting to be a protocol, not a platform. Thus, it is trying to minimize human discretion!
