Liquity's Borrowing Focus

- Loans require only 110% collateralization with ETH, making the system decentralized and immutable.
Balancing Demand
- Liquity needs both borrower and stablecoin demand for equilibrium.
- Incentives include attractive borrowing terms and a stability pool for LUSD holders.
LUSD Stabilization
- LUSD price stabilization comes from a redemption facility, letting holders exchange LUSD for ETH at face value.
