- Who is the interested party for this collateral application?
ParaFi Capital, with material prepared by @monet-supply, @BitcoinPalmer, the BadgerDAO community, and the ParaFi team.
- Provide a brief high-level overview of the project, with a focus on the applying collateral token.
Badger is a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) focused on building the products and infrastructure necessary to accelerate Bitcoin as collateral across other blockchains. Specifically, it is an ecosystem DAO where projects and people from across the ecosystem can collaborate and build the products DeFi needs. Shared ownership in the DAO incentivizes builders to have aligned objectives while decentralized governance ensures that those incentives remain fair to all parties and that the initiatives pursued are determined by the community.
BADGER is the DAO’s governance token, while bBADGER is the token that represents one’s position in the Badger Sett on app.badger.finance and is indicative of a user’s partial ownership of the assets within the vault. bBADGER receives liquidity incentives and is a yield-generating asset with revenues from Badger’s suite of products and vaults.
There is currently 2,815,000 bBADGER in circulation, which corresponds to 3,434,300 BADGER. This amount of BADGER represents approximately half of the circulating BADGER supply.
- Provide a brief history of the project.
The BadgerDAO was bootstrapped by a small team before launching an Early Contributors Program in October of 2020. This led to Badger’s first two products, the Sett, an automated DeFi aggregator focused on tokenized BTC, and Digg, a non-custodial synthetic Bitcoin on Ethereum. Sett was launched on December 3, 2020, and Digg was launched on January 22nd, 2021. There are additional products under development, such as a fixed term yield dollar product and an interest-bearing bitcoin basket. The DAO is collaborating with projects like UMA, DeFiDollar, and Yearn.finance.

- How is the applying collateral type currently used?
bBADGER is the staked version of the BADGER token. Currently, bBADGER holders receive liquidity incentive rewards for staking, but bBADGER’s utility increases daily as the DAO pursues expanded cash flow streams, use cases, and products. bBADGER is currently under consideration to be onboarded as a collateral type to Aave, and is already a supported asset on Cream
