What is Ducat Protocol?

Ducat is a Bitcoin Layer 1 credit protocol that allows users to borrow dollar-pegged assets against their BTC while retaining non-custodial control of the collateral. Borrowers lock Bitcoin into a 2-of-2 Taproot vault and can receive either UNIT or USDC without bridging or wrapping their BTC. The protocol's loan logic, vault creation, liquidation rules, and redemptions are enforced through Bitcoin transactions and Bitcoin Script. Ducat lets users choose a collateral ratio based on their risk tolerance and supports borrowing up to 62.5% of the BTC value deposited in a vault. Instead of charging recurring interest, the protocol applies a one-time 7% minting service charge when UNIT is issued. Borrowers can repay at any time and redeem their Bitcoin, with the protocol stating that BTC redemption can occur within a single Bitcoin block. UNIT is a dollar-pegged stablecoin backed by overcollateralized BTC and issued directly on Bitcoin Layer 1. The protocol also supports USDC conversion for users who prefer external dollar liquidity rather than holding UNIT. Position management tools provide collateral tracking, liquidation-price monitoring, real-time BTC price updates, and dynamic health indicators from a central dashboard. If a vault falls below the protocol's collateral threshold, third parties can participate in liquidations by recapitalizing the position and receiving BTC at a discount. Ducat is designed for Bitcoin holders, digital asset investors, institutions, and decentralized finance users who want Bitcoin-backed liquidity while keeping borrowing activity anchored to the Bitcoin base layer.

What is Aave?

Aave functions as a decentralized, open-source liquidity protocol, allowing users to earn interest on their deposits while providing access to a variety of assets for borrowing. As a money market, it permits users to participate either as depositors, who contribute liquidity for passive income, or as borrowers, who can obtain loans through methods that may be either overcollateralized or undercollateralized. Aave places a strong emphasis on security, conducting continuous audits and protocol improvements, with funds safely stored in a non-custodial smart contract on the Ethereum blockchain. Users have complete control over their wallets, and the system is designed to maintain transparency and be auditable through its underlying code. To uphold exceptional security protocols, Aave Protocol has been subjected to comprehensive audits by well-known firms including Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, ConsenSys Diligence, Certik, PeckShield, and Certora, and all audit reports are made available to the public for examination. This dedication to safety and transparency fosters a sense of trust, allowing users to engage with the Aave ecosystem without hesitation. In addition, Aave’s commitment to user empowerment and clear communication further enhances its appeal in the decentralized finance landscape.
