Collateralization under stress
Liquity V1 + V2 (LUSD / BOLD)'s assessment for RD-F-068 — scored green on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.
Evidence summary #
v1: MCR 110%, Recovery Mode at TCR <150%. Q1 2022 drawdown: TCR never fell below 150% (never triggered Recovery Mode). v2: WETH MCR 110%/CCR 150%/SCR 110%; wstETH/rETH MCR 120%/CCR 160%/SCR 120%. Higher LST parameters account for LST/ETH depeg risk. Shutdown mechanism halts new debt and triggers urgent redemptions at SCR. Oracle staleness (e.g. 48h for rETH) also triggers market shutdown. v2 adds a second stress axis (LST depeg) but addresses it with higher CCR/SCR thresholds. In 4+ years, v1 has never socialized a loss under stress.
