Description
Aave operates as an open-source and non-custodial liquidity protocol that facilitates earning interest on deposits while also allowing users to borrow assets. This decentralized money market enables participants to engage as either depositors or borrowers, where depositors supply liquidity to gain passive income and borrowers can access loans through overcollateralized or undercollateralized means. At the core of Aave’s operations lies a commitment to security, with ongoing audits and enhancements to ensure robust protection for users. The protocol safeguards funds within a non-custodial smart contract deployed on the Ethereum blockchain, giving users complete control over their wallets. Moreover, the system is designed to be regulated and auditable by its underlying code, adding an additional layer of transparency. Aave Protocol has undergone thorough audits by reputable firms such as Trail of Bits, OpenZeppelin, ConsenSys Diligence, Certik, PeckShield, and Certora, all of which are accessible to the public. This dedication to security not only builds user trust but also positions Aave as a leading option in the decentralized finance space.
Description
Ducat is a Bitcoin-native lending and stablecoin protocol that enables users to borrow against BTC without transferring custody to a centralized lender. The protocol places Bitcoin into a 2-of-2 Taproot vault and allows borrowers to mint UNIT or receive USDC against the value of their collateral. Loan creation, redemptions, liquidations, and other core mechanics are enforced through Bitcoin transactions and Script rather than through an external blockchain or Layer 2 network. Borrowers can select different collateral ratios based on their preferred risk level and can borrow up to 62.5% of the BTC value held in a vault. Ducat charges a one-time 7% minting fee and does not charge ongoing interest on the loan. A dashboard shows collateral ratios, liquidation prices, BTC price updates, and vault health so users can monitor and manage their borrowing positions. UNIT is a dollar-pegged stablecoin backed by overcollateralized Bitcoin and can be transferred through the protocol's ecash layer or exchanged for USDC. The protocol also includes a liquidation system in which participants can recapitalize undercollateralized vaults and receive discounted BTC. Ducat states that every vault and loan can be independently verified on Bitcoin and that the system can operate without custodians, bridges, or wrapped BTC. Ducat is intended for Bitcoin holders, BTC-focused investors, and decentralized finance users seeking non-custodial access to dollar-denominated liquidity.
