Built on Bitcoin
Leveraging the security and reliability of the world's most trusted blockchain to create a transparent, efficient lending ecosystem
Bitcoin: Digital Gold for the Modern Economy
Bitcoin is the world's first decentralized digital currency, often compared to digital gold. Unlike traditional financial systems controlled by central authorities, Bitcoin operates on a transparent, immutable ledger called the blockchain. This foundation provides unparalleled security, global accessibility, and protection against inflation—making it an ideal base layer for next-generation financial services.
Unmatched Security
Bitcoin's network is secured by mining power that would require billions in computational resources to compromise
Permanent Record
Every transaction is recorded on an immutable ledger, providing unprecedented transparency and auditability
Scarcity by Design
Limited to 21 million coins, Bitcoin offers protection against the inflation that erodes value in traditional currencies
Taproot Assets: The Next Evolution
Taproot Assets (formerly known as Taro) is a groundbreaking protocol that enables issuing assets on the Bitcoin blockchain. Similar to how financial institutions issue securities, Taproot Assets allows the creation of digital assets backed by Bitcoin's security. This technology powers Arcus's ability to create lending pools directly on Bitcoin's Layer 1, combining traditional finance concepts with Bitcoin's unparalleled security model.
How We Leverage Taproot Assets
Arcus utilizes Taproot Assets to create structured lending products that would be familiar to traditional finance professionals, but with the added benefits of Bitcoin's transparency and security. This allows us to:
- Create tokenized lending pools with verifiable reserves and activities
- Enable interest-bearing Bitcoin assets without requiring users to give up custody
- Provide transparent loan collateralization with real-time verification
