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

52 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)

How can AI + blockchain be combined to create trustless, automated decision systems?

Upvotes

I'm fascinated by the intersection of AI and blockchain. It seems like you could create some powerful automated systems, like a decentralized fund that uses an AI to make investment decisions. But how do you make it trustless? How can users be sure the AI is running as intended and its decisions aren't being manipulated? Putting an AI model's logic directly on-chain seems way too computationally expensive. What are the viable approaches here?

Binance froze my funds for 30 days, then sent my withdrawal to the wrong address and blamed it on malware 🤡

53 Upvotes

I need to share what just happened because it’s absolutely insane and people should know how Binance treats its users.

Binance opened a bogus $197 “dispute” against me and froze ALL my funds for 30 days straight. Every single day I was threatened — my account would be suspended, closed, or funds withheld unless I paid.

After the 30 days expired, they closed the case themselves without my compliance. Fine, I thought, finally done.

I go to withdraw ~$2,300 BTC to my whitelisted Trezor address — the one I had saved long ago. I didn’t type anything, didn’t paste anything, just clicked the dropdown.

Guess what? Binance sends my money to a completely different Bitcoin address that is NOT mine. When I confronted them, they had the audacity to blame it on “malware” on my device. 🤦‍♂️

Here’s the kicker: their own system behavior proves that’s impossible. If the address had been tampered with locally, Binance’s backend would’ve flagged it as a new address and forced network selection + 2FA. That never happened. They admitted themselves that the transaction was processed as whitelisted. Which means the mistake was inside Binance, not on my machine.

So after 30 days of threats and frozen funds, my very next withdrawal gets “misrouted” to a random address, and they blame me. This isn’t an accident anymore — it looks like retaliation for not bowing to their $197 shakedown.

I have the blockchain records, I have the screenshots of their UI logic, I have the chat transcripts where they basically admit it went through as whitelisted.

This company is a predatory custodian that overrides its own security guarantees when it suits them. If it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. And the fact that they’re hiding behind “malware” excuses while bypassing their billion-dollar whitelist infrastructure is beyond laughable.

People really need to think twice before leaving any serious money on Binance.

Why does swapping in L2 cost so much more than mainnet (L1)?

2 Upvotes

I was under the impression that swapping coins in L2 should be cheaper, but instead it cost more than 3 times.

Swapping in L2 (Arbitrum) for 5 Eth into USDC costs $22.37

Swapping in mainnet for 5 Eth into USDC costs $6.73

L2 Arbitrum swapping 5 Eth to USDC
Mainnet swapping 5 Eth to USDC

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

16 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.

12 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?

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.
