What is Venus?

Venus has launched the first-ever decentralized stablecoin, referred to as VAI, which functions on the Binance Smart Chain and is underpinned by a variety of stablecoins and cryptocurrency assets, all while eliminating centralized control. The assets held within this protocol can yield annual percentage rates (APYs) that vary based on the market demand for those assets. Interest is accrued with each block and can serve as collateral for borrowing assets or for minting stablecoins. Users also have the ability to tokenize their assets on the Binance Smart Chain, receiving vTokens that are portable and can be easily transferred to cold storage or shared with others. By using your vToken collateral, you can rapidly borrow from the Venus Protocol without incurring trading fees or experiencing slippage, as everything is executed directly on-chain. This system provides users with immediate liquidity on a global scale, allowing for unparalleled financial freedom and flexibility. Overall, Venus represents a significant leap forward in decentralized finance, enhancing the way users can interact with and manage their digital assets effectively. Through this innovative model, the platform empowers individuals to take greater control over their financial activities.

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.
