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

Insured Finance operates as a decentralized P2P insurance marketplace that facilitates easy claims and swift payouts, built on the robust Polygon network. This platform allows participants to seamlessly request or offer coverage for an extensive range of cryptocurrency assets. With fully collateralized claims, users can expect immediate compensation, thereby safeguarding against vulnerabilities such as bugs and smart contract exploits. Given that tens of millions in USD have been lost to smart contract attacks, Insured Finance serves as a protective measure against these risks. Additionally, users can insure their cryptocurrency holdings on exchanges, mitigating the financial impact of hacks or bankruptcy events that have led to hundreds of millions in losses. The stablecoin sector has expanded to over $25 billion, but it remains susceptible to various hazards, including security breaches and issuer insolvency. Insured Finance enables users to shield themselves against potential stablecoin failures, ensuring their investments are better protected in an unpredictable market. With this innovative approach to insurance, participants can engage with cryptocurrency markets more confidently.
