You really should keep enough lube on it to prevent rust. The O-rings don't like to run dry, and rust on the side plates where they contact the O-rings will wreck them.
The most important part of the chain is the bushings in the joints that are sealed by the O-rings, so once the rubber rings go bad, things get worse fast.
