ICP-powered interest rate management for Liquity V2
Robert Lauko, Yvonne-Anne Pignolet

Liquity V2 allows borrowers to set their own interest rate in exchange for a certain risk level (loss of exposure upon stablecoin redemption). To facilitate the ongoing rate management for passive users, we built an automation system on the ICP that adjusts interest rates efficiently in a decentralized way.

The system makes use of the ICP's Ethereum integration and timers to continuously monitor the user's redemption risk, submitting interest rate update transactions as needed. By charging a small management fee, the system covers its own operational costs (ICP cycles and Ethereum gas costs) and is thus self-sustaining.
