What is UCD?

UCD (Ultimate Collateral Dollar) is a decentralised, Bitcoin-backed stablecoin minted through the Diamond Hands protocol—a GVNR Protocol product.

Users create a Bitcoin Vault on Diamond Hands, which is a smart-contract-controlled BTC address governed entirely by their connected wallet. By depositing native Bitcoin (not wrapped) into this vault, users open a line of credit with a maximum loan-to-value (LTV) of 66%.

When a user draws liquidity from this credit line, UCD is minted directly into their wallet. This UCD is:

  • A fully collateralised stablecoin

  • Backed by Bitcoin

  • Held in the user’s own smart vault.

UCD maintains its value by ensuring every unit is overcollateralised, starting with a minimum collateral ratio of 150%.

Because the Bitcoin never leaves the vault and is controlled solely by the user’s wallet, UCD offers a self-custodial, trust-minimised way to access liquidity without selling BTC - making it the ultimate form of Bitcoin-native borrowing.

Inside the Diamond Hands user portal, UCD is immediately available to convert into USDT, or USDR on ETH mainnet, where users can send to a destination of their choice and use for anything they wish.
