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

Today, countless creators and an even larger group of enthusiasts are actively involved in generating millions of dollars in value within the NFT market. The increasing trade and valuation of NFTs have led to a challenge regarding liquidity in this space. This situation allows NFT collectors to leverage their assets as collateral for loans at reasonable interest rates, while liquidity providers can engage through direct bidding or by joining pools. Both lenders and borrowers have the option to utilize either a pool system or a peer-to-peer marketplace. The asset prices displayed on Strip are directly sourced from the NFT marketplaces we collaborate with, ensuring that we do not alter these values in either cryptocurrency or traditional currency forms. Lenders can easily access the platform by signing in with their Metamask wallet containing stablecoins. Within the lend section, users can browse through all available NFTs, along with details about the artists and owners. You can place bids on NFTs that align with your risk appetite, and once a borrower accepts your bid, the agreed-upon amount will be promptly transferred to facilitate the transaction. This innovative approach not only enhances liquidity but also fosters a more dynamic ecosystem for NFT investments.
