What is Torque?

Torque provides a comprehensive decentralized finance (DeFi) platform that allows users to obtain asset-backed loans without a predetermined end date and at fixed interest rates. Users can easily access crypto-backed loans without dealing with cumbersome KYC requirements or credit checks, ensuring a straightforward borrowing process. The fixed interest rates grant borrowers a clear understanding of their financial obligations. In times of market fluctuations, we guarantee that loans stay fully collateralized, only liquidating collateral when it surpasses the margin maintenance level by 10%. Our commitment to decentralization means we offer loans without any verification processes, KYC/AML mandates, or credit evaluations—your keys and coins remain entirely under your control. Our non-custodial model ensures that you have the ultimate authority over your keys and assets. Moreover, we have subjected our smart contracts to rigorous audits from top-tier blockchain security firms, such as ZK Labs and Certik, to enhance trust. To tackle the specific security challenges that oracles present in a decentralized framework, we partner with leading oracle service providers. Additionally, we allocate 10% of the interest accrued from borrowers to an insurance fund aimed at safeguarding against potential failures in the liquidation of undercollateralized loans, thereby promoting enhanced security for all users. This unwavering commitment to security underscores our focus on creating a safer lending environment within the DeFi ecosystem, and we continuously strive to innovate and adapt to emerging risks in the market.

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.
