Arkadiko

Arkadiko is a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity protocol on Stacks. Users lock token collateral in vaults to mint USDA, a soft-pegged US dollar stablecoin, and can adjust or close those vaults. The project repository also describes USDA redemption, a liquidation pool, DIKO governance and staking.

Practical overview

When it fits

Use Arkadiko when you want to explore collateral-backed USDA borrowing on Stacks and can assess the applicable collateral parameters, fees and liquidation threshold.

Who it is for

  • Stacks users seeking to borrow USDA against token collateral.
  • USDA holders interested in the documented redemption mechanism.
  • DIKO holders who want to participate in DAO voting or staking.

Documented uses

  • Lock collateral in a vault and mint USDA debt.
  • Adjust a vault’s collateral or debt, or close the vault.
  • Review how collateral-specific fees and liquidation thresholds affect a borrowing position.
  • Use the described USDA redemption, liquidation-pool staking or DIKO governance mechanisms.
Before you choose

Requirements & limits

  • Vaults are over-collateralized, and each collateral token has its own risk parameters.
  • A vault may face liquidation if its collateral-to-debt ratio falls below its threshold; the repository also describes a liquidation penalty.
  • Stability fees may be charged on outstanding debt, and minting fees may apply when minting additional USDA.
  • The public GitHub repository lists a GPL-3.0 license and TypeScript as its primary language.

Check current requirements in the official documentation. Source-based guidance does not mean OpenViST has run or independently tested this project.

Source-based practical guide

Mint USDA by opening a collateral vault

Lock collateral in an Arkadiko vault and incur USDA debt.

Before you start

  • Access to the Stacks network and collateral accepted for a vault.
  • A wallet; the README describes one vault per wallet for each collateral token.

Steps

  1. Choose the collateral token and specify the quantity to lock in a vault.

  2. Specify the amount of USDA debt to incur.

  3. Maintain the vault above its collateral liquidation threshold; collateral and debt can be adjusted later, or the vault can be closed.

Expected outcome

The vault locks collateral and mints USDA while retaining exposure to the collateral.

Guide limitations

  • Vaults must remain over-collateralized; falling below the liquidation threshold can trigger liquidation.
  • Collateral tokens have risk parameters, including minimum debt, stability fees, liquidation penalties, and redemption fees.
  • The README does not provide interface instructions or transaction-specific steps.
