  "description": "Liquity is a decentralized borrowing protocol that allows users to draw interest-free loans against Ether (ETH) as collateral. Loans are paid out in LUSD (Liquity USD), a USD-pegged stablecoin, and require a minimum collateral ratio of 110%. The protocol is governed by its native token, LQTY, and features a unique liquidation mechanism via a Stability Pool.",
