LiqwidX is a noncustodial DeFi liquidity protocol for borrowing that allows users to originate 0% interest loans against ADA deposited into individual vaults as collateral. New loans trigger the minting of LQUSD; a USD pegged stablecoin and are required to maintain a minimum collateral ratio of 110%. Beyond the collateral requirements, the loans originated in the protocol are backed by a Stability Pool of staked LQUSD and by other LQUSD borrowers in aggregate serving as liquidators. The LiqwidX protocol is decentralized and immutable with users directly interacting with the contract functions (e.g. minting LQUSD) onchain.
LiqwidX DAO Token LQX is the protocol’s native asset used for governance and one way to earn LQX directly within the protocol is by staking LQUSD in the Stability Pool. 65% of the total LQX supply will be distributed to LQUSD stakers over a three year period starting at mainnet launch.
