Description

Ducat Protocol provides non-custodial, Bitcoin-native borrowing through 2-of-2 Taproot vaults. Users deposit BTC, borrow the dollar-pegged UNIT stablecoin or USDC, and can repay to redeem their BTC; vault, loan, and liquidation logic is enforced by Bitcoin Script. UNIT is an overcollateralized BTC-backed stablecoin issued on Bitcoin L1, with transfers supported through an ecash layer and 1:1 USDC conversion.
