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 Babylon?

For the first time ever, holders of assets can earn yields from their idle cryptocurrencies securely, without relying on third-party trust or transferring to different chains. Bitcoin owners can now lock their coins using a self-custodial method, enabling them to validate Proof of Stake (PoS) chains while enjoying the rewards generated as yields. Thanks to the innovative fast unbinding and scalable restaking features of the protocol, stakers benefit from improved liquidity and higher returns. This solution effectively mitigates the risks linked to bridging, wrapping, or pegging cryptocurrencies, providing comprehensive protection against vulnerabilities associated with PoS systems. It is an exemplary enhancement for any PoS chain. The Babylon project is dedicated to creating security protocols that amplify Bitcoin's contribution to maintaining a decentralized ecosystem. To realize this vision, Babylon leverages three fundamental elements of Bitcoin: its intrinsic asset value, the PoW-secured timestamping server, and the most robust blockspace globally against censorship. By pioneering advanced protocols, Babylon aspires to forge a more secure, Bitcoin-centric decentralized future, nurturing an ecosystem that emphasizes security and operational efficiency. This commitment to innovation and security positions Babylon as a leader in the evolution of cryptocurrency ecosystems.
