Overview

This PR introduces BitLend, a secure and efficient lending protocol built on Stacks L2 that leverages Bitcoin's security through proof-of-work while enabling sophisticated DeFi operations.

Key Changes

  • Implemented core lending protocol with Bitcoin-backed security
  • Added comprehensive user position management system
  • Introduced dynamic interest rate calculations
  • Developed risk-adjusted liquidation mechanisms
  • Created transparent protocol statistics and monitoring
  • Added administrative controls with safety bounds

Technical Implementation

  1. Core Protocol Functions

    • Deposit/withdraw mechanisms for STX tokens
    • Borrowing system with collateral ratio enforcement
    • Loan repayment functionality
    • Automated liquidation process
  2. Position Management

    • User position tracking with collateral and debt
    • Real-time collateral ratio monitoring
    • Interest calculation and accrual system
  3. Security Measures

    • Strict access controls
    • Protected administrative functions
    • Comprehensive error handling
    • Safety checks for all operations
  4. Protocol Parameters

    • Configurable collateral ratios (110% - 500%)
    • Adjustable liquidation thresholds
    • Flexible protocol fees (max 10%)

Documentation

  • Added comprehensive README
  • Included technical specifications
  • Provided integration guidelines
  • Documented security features

Review Focus Areas

  1. Collateral ratio calculations
  2. Liquidation mechanism safety
  3. Interest rate implementation
  4. Administrative control boundaries
  5. Error handling comprehensiveness

Next Steps

  • Deploy to Stacks testnet
  • Conduct security audit
  • Implement monitoring system
  • Begin community testing phase

Security Considerations

  • All administrative functions are owner-restricted
  • Strict bounds on protocol parameters
  • Multiple safety checks in critical functions
  • Comprehensive error handling

Checklist

  • Implemented all core functions
  • Added comprehensive tests
  • Updated documentation
  • Reviewed security measures
  • Validated parameter bounds
  • Added monitoring capabilities

Impact

This implementation provides a secure foundation for Bitcoin-backed lending on Stacks L2, enabling:

  • Efficient capital utilization
  • Secure lending operations
  • Transparent position management
  • Automated risk mitigation

Deployment Plan

  1. Initial testnet deployment
  2. Community testing period
  3. Security audit
  4. Mainnet preparation
  5. Phased mainnet launch

- Introduce BitLend, a Bitcoin-anchored lending protocol leveraging Stacks L2 technology.
- Define constants for contract owner, error codes, and protocol parameters.
- Add data variables for collateral ratio, liquidation threshold, protocol fee, total deposits, and total borrows.
- Create data maps for loans and user positions.
- Implement private functions for interest calculation, collateral ratio calculation, and user position updates.
- Add public functions for deposit, borrow, repay, withdraw, and liquidate operations.
- Include read-only functions to get user positions and protocol statistics.
- Provide admin functions to set minimum collateral ratio, liquidation threshold, and protocol fee.
- Define user-positions map to track user collateral, borrowed amount, and loan count.
- Implement private functions for calculating interest, collateral ratio, and updating user positions.
- Implement `deposit` function to allow users to deposit STX and update their positions.
- Implement `borrow` function to enable users to borrow STX based on their collateral and update their positions.
- Implement `repay` function to allow users to repay borrowed STX and update their positions.
- Implement `withdraw` function to enable users to withdraw collateral based on their collateral ratio and update their positions.
- Implement `liquidate` function to allow liquidation of under-collateralized positions.
- Add read-only function `get-user-position` to retrieve user collateral and borrowed amounts.
- Add read-only function `get-protocol-stats` to retrieve protocol statistics including total deposits, total borrows, minimum collateral ratio, liquidation threshold, and protocol fee.
- Implement `set-minimum-collateral-ratio` function to allow the contract owner to update the minimum collateral ratio.
- Implement `set-liquidation-threshold` function to enable the contract owner to set the liquidation threshold.
- Implement `set-protocol-fee` function to allow the contract owner to adjust the protocol fee.
- Provide an overview of BitLend, a Bitcoin-backed lending protocol on Stacks L2.
- Detail key features such as Bitcoin-secured collateral, dynamic interest rates, and risk-adjusted liquidations.
- Describe core functions including deposit, borrow, repay, withdraw, and liquidation mechanisms.
- Include query functions for retrieving user positions and protocol statistics.
- Outline administrative controls for setting collateral ratios, liquidation thresholds, and protocol fees.
- Highlight security features, technical implementation, and best practices for integration.
- Provide guidelines for development, testing, and contributing to the project.
