What is Rootstock?

Rootstock emerges as a pioneering Bitcoin sidechain that merges the robust smart contract capabilities of Ethereum with Bitcoin’s unmatched security features. As an open-source platform, it leverages Bitcoin's proof-of-work consensus mechanism and utilizes more than 60% of Bitcoin's hashing power through merged mining, which greatly enhances its reliability. This collaboration enables developers to build EVM-compatible smart contracts, thereby fostering the development of decentralized applications that capitalize on the robust security of Bitcoin's network. The platform's native currency, RBTC, is pegged to Bitcoin at a 1:1 ratio, which streamlines interactions with decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols and dApps, enabling seamless processes like minting, swapping, and gas fee payments. Furthermore, the PowPeg protocol is essential for ensuring secure and efficient two-way transactions between Bitcoin and Rootstock, which significantly boosts the interoperability of both networks. Rootstock's growing ecosystem provides users with diverse applications, allowing them to swap, stake, and optimize yields using platforms like Sushi and Beefy, as well as trade on Oku, showcasing the platform's versatility and broad appeal. Consequently, Rootstock not only creates an environment rich in opportunities for developers but also empowers users to fully explore and leverage the advantages of blockchain technology in their daily activities. With such a comprehensive framework, Rootstock stands poised to play a vital role in the future of decentralized finance and blockchain innovation.

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.
