How it works

Three steps. No middleman.

It's like lending yourself money against assets you already own — the protocol is code, so no one takes custody of your funds.

01

Deposit collateral

Supply BTC, ETH, or stablecoins into the pool. It stays yours and starts earning yield the moment it lands.

02 · Your borrowing power
75%

Borrow up to 75% LTV

Draw up to three-quarters of your collateral's value as instant liquidity — keep your upside, get the cash.

03

Repay on your terms

Pay it back whenever on a variable rate, or lock a fixed rate for 7–365 days. Your collateral unlocks the moment you repay.

Borrow → Spend

Borrow it. Spend it.
Never hand over your keys.

Borrow against your Bitcoin on StaterFi, move it to a self-custodial Lightning wallet, and pay at the register in seconds. No card company, no custodian — nobody holds your money but you.

Borrowing is live on testnet today; spending over Lightning arrives with mainnet — test tokens can't be spent in real stores. Moving borrowed stablecoins onto Lightning currently takes a swap or bridge step through a service you choose, and making that one tap is on our roadmap. Listed wallets are independent apps StaterFi doesn't control or endorse; availability varies by country. Merchant figure: Block/Square, May 2026.

Why StaterFi

Built for people who don't want to sell.

75% loan-to-value

Borrow up to three-quarters of your deposit — among the most capital-efficient terms in DeFi.

Fixed-rate option

Lock your borrow rate for up to a year. No surprise spikes when the market gets busy.

Bitcoin-native

Three BTC wrappers with peg-aware pricing, so a depeg lowers value honestly instead of hiding it.

Instant liquidity

Borrow in a single transaction. Repay anytime — even the same day — with no lock-up on variable loans.

Transparent fees

One flat 3% origination fee — no hidden spreads. It funds a reserve that absorbs bad debt before lenders do.

Secure & non-custodial

Your keys, your funds. The team can never move your assets — only you can, through the contracts.

Supply to earn. Borrow against it.

Lenders earn the yield borrowers pay. Rates move with demand; every borrow adds to the safety reserve.

Security & trust

Designed to be safe first.

A lending protocol holds real value, so security isn't a feature — it's the foundation. Here's how we protect depositors.

⚠️ Currently on public testnet. An independent audit is required — and planned — before the protocol accepts real deposits on mainnet.
  • Non-custodial by design

    Funds live in on-chain smart contracts, never in a company wallet.

  • 2-day timelock governance

    Every parameter change is announced 2 days ahead — no instant rug switches.

  • Guardian pause, capped power

    A guardian can pause in an emergency but can never move funds or unpause alone.

  • 81 automated tests

    Invariant, differential and adversarial suites run on every change; audit & bug bounty next.
