StellaSwap Partners With Acala
StellaSwap Partners with Acala to Bring aUSD into Moonbeam
The StellaSwap partners with Acala, one of the largest parachians on Polkadot. Acala is a decentralized finance network powering the Acala USD (aUSD) ecosystem. Its core product, aUSD, represents an over-collateralized, decentralized stablecoin built as the native stablecoin of all of Polkadot.
Actualizing Polkadot’s vision of of interoperability via cross-chain messaging (XCM), this partnership marks an important milestone between the largest parachains within the Polkadot network: Moonbeam <> Acala. As the largest DEX on Moonbeam and Polkadot, it is important for StellaSwap to facilitate the adoption of substrate-native assets.
Emphasis on Substrate-Native Assets
The recent exploit on Nomad has strongly molded StellaSwap’s approach towards a core focus on substrate-native assets.
