Arcturus Finance

This documentation covers the Arcturus chain, a Cosmos SDK–based blockchain purpose-built for overcollateralized stablecoin issuance and vault-based debt positions. The chain is designed to be clear in its mechanics, predictable in its risk model, and practical to operate, integrate, and build on.

At its core, the Arcturus chain lets users lock approved collateral into on-chain vaults and mint stablecoins within set parameters. These parameters include collateralization ratios, stability fees, liquidation thresholds, and incentive structures, all enforced at the chain level. By embedding these rules directly into the blockchain, Arcturus aims to provide a stable and transparent foundation for issuing and managing fiat-referenced digital assets.

This documentation explains how the chain works from the ground up. You will find core module concepts, state transitions, economic and risk assumptions, validator and governance considerations, and the interfaces exposed to users and integrators. The focus is on correctness, clarity, and composability within the broader Cosmos ecosystem.

Whether you are validating the network, integrating stablecoins, building applications on the chain, or reviewing the system from a risk or infrastructure perspective, this documentation is meant to give you a complete and accurate understanding of how Arcturus behaves and why it is designed the way it is.
