About
Ducat is a Bitcoin Layer 1 credit and stablecoin protocol that lets BTC holders borrow dollar-pegged assets without giving up custody of their Bitcoin. Users deposit BTC into a non-custodial 2-of-2 Taproot vault and can borrow UNIT or USDC while keeping the loan logic on Bitcoin rather than using bridges, sidechains, or external chains. The protocol offers zero ongoing interest and instead charges a one-time 7% minting service fee when UNIT is created. Borrowers can choose their collateral ratio, monitor their position and liquidation price, and borrow up to 62.5% of the BTC value in a vault. UNIT is a dollar-pegged stablecoin issued on Bitcoin Layer 1 and backed by overcollateralized BTC, with support for conversion to USDC. Ducat is designed for Bitcoin holders who want access to dollar liquidity while retaining exposure to their BTC and using a non-custodial, Bitcoin-native borrowing system.

About
Lava enables users to borrow U.S. dollars using their Bitcoin holdings as collateral without needing credit checks, heavy documentation, or selling their crypto. Users can access loans starting from as little as $100 and up to $1 billion, with fixed low interest rates beginning at around 5%. The platform offers instant funding, supports global bank-off-ramps, and promises that your Bitcoin assets remain in your control, no rehypothecation, no trading out your coins. Built on institutional-grade infrastructure used to secure over $100 billion in assets, Lava emphasises self-custody, strong security controls (multi-party approvals, biometric protection, whitelisted addresses, inheritance support), and encrypted user privacy. It also provides additional services such as zero-fee Bitcoin purchases, a stablecoin (LavaUSD) backed 1:1 with USD-denominated reserves at regulated financial institutions, and a rewards card offering up to 5% BTC back on purchases.
