Description

Arch Lending provides crypto-backed loans that allow holders of digital assets to access liquidity without the need to sell their investments. By using Bitcoin, Ethereum, or Solana as collateral, borrowers can receive funds in fiat USD or USDC without undergoing a credit check, typically accessing their money on the same day while ensuring their assets are not rehypothecated. The collateral is maintained in secure custody and is never utilized for lending or other purposes. With an annual percentage rate starting around 9.50%, these loans offer flexible terms of up to 24 months, with options for pay-down or rollover, and the potential to increase borrowing as the value of collateral rises. Emphasizing trust and security, Arch’s business model ensures that clients' assets are not used, maintaining a one-to-one holding of collateral in secure custody. The platform caters to both individual and institutional clients, offering specialized services for “private wealth” individuals as well as tailored lending solutions for institutions. This commitment to security and flexibility underscores Arch Lending's goal of building lasting relationships with its borrowers.

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.
