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.
Description
Sovryn is committed to maintaining high security standards through regular audits by multiple auditors and a robust bug bounty program. In addition, the platform plans to introduce more secure oracles to enhance decentralization further. To safeguard against the risks of undercollateralized loans, an insurance fund is maintained, to which 10% of interest generated is contributed. Upholding one of the core tenets of decentralized finance, Sovryn emphasizes interoperability and the creation of open-source code. Users can transact seamlessly using bitcoin directly from their wallets, eliminating any friction in the process. All transactions are processed on the bitcoin blockchain through the RSK bitcoin sidechain. As a decentralized margin trading platform, Sovryn does not require any KYC or AML verification, allowing users to retain their pseudonymity. This system empowers individuals to lend and trade without the need to entrust their keys to a centralized entity. With a focus on user autonomy, Sovryn ensures that your keys, coins, and control remain exclusively in your hands. Borrowers on the platform leverage their bitcoin to establish margin trading positions, effectively borrowing bitcoin from lenders to amplify their trading potential. Through this structure, Sovryn facilitates a dynamic and user-centric trading environment.
