Description
Centrifuge connects assets such as invoices, real estate, and royalties to the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem. This allows borrowers to obtain financing for their tangible assets without the need for banks or other intermediaries. The platform welcomes everyone to contribute liquidity, and in return, investors earn both returns and CFG rewards. The Centrifuge peer-to-peer (P2P) network facilitates a secure approach for collaborators to create, exchange, and validate asset data, enabling the tokenization of these assets into NFTs. Asset originators have the ability to selectively share pertinent asset information with service providers, who can evaluate the data and enhance the information linked to the minted NFT. Verification of asset origin is achieved through cryptographic signatures, ensuring data integrity. The P2P network's components are built on the libp2p framework. Centrifuge Chain serves multiple purposes: maintaining identities akin to the ERC725 standard, anchoring state commitments, and minting NFTs from off-chain documentation. These NFTs can also be bridged to Ethereum, allowing them to be locked as collateral in Tinlake for financing these real-world assets. Ultimately, this innovative approach paves the way for a more inclusive financial system, empowering asset originators and investors alike.
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.
