DLCs: Loans, Stablecoins
summary
DLCs let users borrow against native Bitcoin by locking BTC in layer‑one contracts and using off‑chain oracle attestations to decide payouts; implementations include Lava’s open‑source Oracle and DLC.BTC which treats Ethereum as an oracle via relay nodes. UTX Oracle claims it computes BTC price within about 1% using on‑chain data. Taproot/schnorr reduce TX size, loans open/close like Lightning channels, collateral is verifiable on‑chain and has on‑failure recovery paths.
