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 Arkadiko?

Borrowing can be advantageous without the burden of monthly loan repayments. We create innovative open-source tools to enhance access to the Arkadiko protocol. By using your STX tokens as collateral, you can mint USDA, a stablecoin ideal for yield farming ventures. On the Arkadiko decentralized exchange, you can easily exchange your favorite tokens within the Stacks blockchain ecosystem. Furthermore, staking your DIKO tokens rewards you with stDIKO, which provides you with voting rights on governance matters. Engaging in the voting process enables you to impact proposals and modifications to the protocol, including changes to risk parameters related to various collateral types on Arkadiko. Functioning as a decentralized and transparent DAO, Arkadiko is dedicated to open development, making all its code available under GPLv3. By participating in the advancement of finance across the Stacks and Bitcoin networks, you can benefit from improved liquidity via a soft-pegged US Dollar stablecoin while still having exposure to your original assets. Your STX tokens will accrue yields that automatically offset the USDA loan over time, creating a smooth borrowing experience. This forward-thinking strategy not only maximizes your financial opportunities but also empowers you to influence the trajectory of decentralized finance while enjoying a user-friendly platform.
