what's Saturn?
Saturn is a DeFi protocol building infrastructure for Bitcoin-backed digital credit markets, featuring a dual-token stablecoin system. USDat functions as a non-yield-bearing stablecoin backed 1:1 by tokenized U.S. Treasuries, providing stable digital cash for payments, settlements, and instant access to credit. sUSDat is generated by staking USDat, offering exposure to institutional Bitcoin credit through STRC, a perpetual preferred equity instrument collateralized by BTC holdings from digital asset treasury companies like Strategy. The protocol incorporates advanced risk management: 5:1 overcollateralization on STRC, USD reserves for dividend coverage, accruing paused payments, and automated dynamic rebalancing that shifts allocations between credit and treasuries based on BTC backing ratios. This enables sustainable yield distribution without lockups, governance delays, or accreditation, positioning Saturn as a bridge between idle corporate BTC treasuries and accessible onchain finance.
Saturn's dual-token system (11%+ yield via BTC credit, no lock-up) raised $800k from investors.
