## Description

"Forks return 4-5% of tokens back to Liquity, aligning incentives." - Michael Svoboda - Liquity AG

Forkonomics is a new way of thinking about DeFi collaboration and Liquity V2 is proving it works. Instead of guarding its code, Liquity enabled forks under strategic agreements, resulting in over $370M in TVL across ecosystems. This episode breaks down how Liquity V2 turned a tough bootstrap challenge into a multi-chain expansion model, creating a win-win for protocol builders and ecosystem operators.
