🛡️ Aegis Vault: The Bitcoin-Native Federal Reserve

Decentralized, non-custodial credit protocol on Stacks.
Mint institutional-grade stablecoins (aeUSD) against sBTC collateral, where the debt auto-repays itself using native Bitcoin yield.

📽️ Cinematic Pitch & Vision

"Bitcoin has a $2 Trillion problem: it's lazy money. Aegis Vault makes Bitcoin work so you don't have to."

Aegis Vault turns Bitcoin into productive capital. By leveraging sBTC and Stacks' Proof-of-Transfer (PoX) rewards, we've built a protocol where loans aren't a burden—they are a self-sustaining asset.

🧩 The Architecture

Aegis Vault utilizes a multi-layered synchronization between the Next.js Obsidian UI, the Stacks Blockchain, and Clarity Smart Contracts.
