Making DeFi frontends great again through lApps
What if we told you that you could run your own private @uniswap frontend locally and benefit from:
- Stronger security 💪
- More control 🎮
- Lightning-fast loading ⚡
- and zero frontend fees 💸👀
Enter lApps! ⬇️
Pioneered by Liquity’s very own @edwardmulraney , we propose a shift to a self-sovereign, trustless frontends via lApps (local apps).
lApps offer:
Regulatory compliance: No central frontend as each user runs their own private frontend, eliminating intermediaries ⛓️
Better security: The risks of DNS, domain, or server hijacks are lessened. 🛡️
Lightning-fast loading: Zero latency as lApps live on your device. ⚡
Update policy: Update on your terms, no forced updates. ✋
How does this compare to current approaches?
Check out our infographic ⬇️
What’s the TL;DR?
- No third party hosts needed to serve you the frontend.
- Users serve their own private frontends, and there’s no reliance on a web server like AWS.
- DeFi Projects can continue doing what they normally do - writing regular frontend code to be executed in a regular web browser, and to publish on @github or @IPFS .
So considering all this, how do lApps work?

The future will be decentralized 🔵
Great to see LUSD being integrated into an innovative protocol like @blueprintfi_eth that optimizes the ve(3,3) user experience ⛓️
Onward.
