🔗 Integration Example

;; Your receiver contract
(impl-trait .flash-receiver-trait.flash-receiver-trait)

(define-public (execute-flash (amount uint) (borrower principal))
  (let ((fee (/ (* amount u50) u10000)))
    ;; Your profitable logic here
    ;; (arbitrage, liquidation, etc.)
    
    ;; Repay
    (try! (contract-call? .sbtc-token transfer 
      (+ amount fee)
      borrower
      .flashstack-core
      none))
    (ok true)
  )
)
