Description

For the first time, asset holders have the opportunity to earn returns on their idle cryptocurrencies in a secure manner: this eliminates the need for trusting third parties or bridging to different chains. Bitcoin holders can lock their assets in a self-custodial fashion, which grants them the ability to validate Proof of Stake (PoS) chains and receive yields as a form of reward. Thanks to the rapid unbinding and scalable restaking capabilities of the protocol, stakers also benefit from enhanced liquidity and higher yields. This solution eradicates the risks associated with bridging, wrapping, or pegging their assets, while ensuring robust protection against PoS-related attacks. It serves as an ideal integration for every PoS chain. The Babylon project has designed innovative security protocols aimed at utilizing Bitcoin to fortify the decentralized ecosystem. In pursuit of this goal, Babylon capitalizes on three fundamental aspects of Bitcoin: its value as an asset, the PoW-secured timestamping server, and the unparalleled censorship-resistance of its blockspace. By pioneering advanced protocols, Babylon aspires to create a more secure and Bitcoin-focused decentralized future, ultimately empowering users and enhancing the stability of the entire ecosystem.

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.
