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

The Parrot Protocol is a decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem established on the Solana blockchain, incorporating the stablecoin PAI, a non-custodial lending marketplace, and a margin trading virtual automated market maker (vAMM). All of these components aim to address a crucial issue: unlocking the value that is currently immobilized within DeFi platforms. At present, countless billions of dollars are trapped in various DeFi systems, often transformed into yield-generating tokens like Uniswap LP tokens or AAVE interest-bearing tokens. Unfortunately, there are few practical applications for these LP tokens, as the value they hold remains largely inaccessible due to their inherent risks being unclear, and their measurement units being impractical for everyday users. The Parrot Protocol aims to bridge this gap by establishing a liquidity and lending infrastructure that utilizes LP tokens as collateral, while also introducing a margin trading solution that employs PAI as a standardized unit of account. Ultimately, the goal is to provide users with a seamless way to access and utilize the value locked within these tokens, thereby enhancing overall liquidity in the DeFi landscape.
