Arkadiko is a decentralized finance protocol on the Stacks blockchain that enables borrowing, stablecoin minting and yield generation—all backed by Bitcoin.

What you can do with Arkadiko

• Mint USDA: Lock STX or xBTC in vaults to mint USDA, an overcollateralized crypto-backed stablecoin soft-pegged to the US dollar.

• Use Vaults for borrowing: Create overcollateralized positions and unlock liquidity while retaining exposure to your assets.

• Automate DeFi with Keepers: Use or operate Keepers—decentralized bots that trigger smart contracts, execute yield strategies, or maintain vaults.

• Swap tokens: Access the Arkadiko DEX to trade SIP-10 tokens like USDA, STX, DIKO and others.

Vaults offer a non-custodial way to unlock liquidity while maintaining exposure to your assets.

Keepers enable fully decentralized automation. You can deploy jobs that run on custom logic, oracle data, or block timing—and earn DIKO for executing Keeper tasks that support the Arkadiko ecosystem.
