Liquidium is a peer-to-peer lending solution that leverages the power of Discreet Log Contracts (DLCs) and Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions (PSBTs) to enable users to borrow and lend native Bitcoin against native Ordinals as collateral. Ordinal Inscriptions are a new form of digital assets created by inscribing data on satoshis, the smallest unit of Bitcoin. Liquidium allows Ordinal owners to lock inscriptions as collateral to borrow Bitcoin, while retaining ownership and exposure to their Ordinal. The platform operates solely on the Bitcoin blockchain in a trust-minimal and custodian-free solution. The lending process is facilitated through PSBTs, and the loan outcomes are validated by DeepLake oracles. Liquidium is the biggest Bitcoin NFT lending protocol by volume on the Stacks blockchain for users to borrow against their Bitcoin NFTs.

Pichi Finance is the first trustless points trading protocol, enabling users to trade points from their favorite protocols before TGE. Conventionally, points are stored off-chain and tied to wallet addresses, limiting their tradability on an open market. Michi Protocol provides significant design improvements to the process of trading points by leveraging ERC-6551 Accounts (also called Tokenbound Accounts). These are wallets owned by NFTs and selling the NFT entails transferring ownership of the associated wallet along with any accrued points. Users can create a Michi Wallet NFT and deposit tokens that earn points into the associated ERC-6551 wallet. Once points accumulate in the wallet, users can withdraw the points-earning tokens and sell the Michi Wallet NFT, effectively selling the accrued points. This model provides several advantages: - No collateral is required from the buyer or seller; the sale process mirrors that of trading an NFT. - The trading process is completely trustless. - Once the sale is accepted, the trade is guaranteed; the seller cannot retract from the sale and the buyer receives full custody of the points in question. Michi Protocol enables users to earn points securely while gaining access to a liquid market for trading these earned points.

Public key cryptography ushered in the modern internet era by fundamentally altering digital trust dynamics. Similarly, zero-knowledge computing will radically alter the way we interact digitally and enable entirely new classes of applications. The RISC Zero platform will drive the coming decentralized computing revolution.
