How it works

Simple as a library card.
Trustless as Bitcoin.

Every transaction is on Stacks. Your deposit lives in the smart contract — not with us.

01

Connect your wallet

Use any Stacks-compatible wallet. Your address is your identity — no accounts, no passwords.

02

Browse the collection

Explore books added by the community. Each listing shows the title, author, and required deposit.

03

Deposit & borrow

Lock a small STX deposit into the smart contract. The contract holds it — no one else can touch it.

04

Return & reclaim

Return the book and call the contract. Your deposit is sent back to your wallet instantly.

Why Holdly

Built different.

Everything you need. Nothing you don't.

Non-custodial

Your deposits are held by the smart contract, not by Holdly. We have zero access to your funds.

Instant refunds

Smart contract logic triggers the deposit return the moment your return transaction confirms.

Open to anyone

No approval process. Anyone with a Stacks wallet can lend books or borrow from the community.

IPFS cover images

Book covers are pinned to IPFS via Pinata, ensuring they persist as long as the contract does.

Bitcoin-anchored

All state lives on Stacks, which settles to Bitcoin. Every borrow is as durable as the blockchain.

Flexible deposits

Book owners set the deposit amount they're comfortable with when listing their book.
