Acala Network Ico Review: The DeFi Hub of Polkadot

About Acala Network

Acala Network is the all-in-one DeFi hub of Polkadot. Acala is an Ethereum-compatible platform for financial applications to use smart contracts or built-in protocols with out-of-the-box cross-chain capabilities and robust security. The platform also offers a suite of financial applications including: a trustless staking derivative (liquid DOT), a multi-collateralized stablecoin backed by cross-chain assets (aUSD), and an AMM DEX – all with micro gas fees that can be paid in any token.

Acala is an all-in-one decentralized finance network offering a blockchain platform secured by Polkadot, as well as a suite of cross-chain financial applications that let users trade on Acala Swap, issue self-serviced loans with the Acala Dollar stablecoin (aUSD), become liquidity providers, access staking derivatives with Liquid DOT staking (LDOT), and earn high-interest APY on their digital assets. The network is scalable, Ethereum-compatible, and optimized for DeFi.

The network will also be bridged to Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other networks such as Compound Gateway, for which Acala received an inaugural grant from Compound. Acala is building hybrid crypto and fintech products with US fintech company, Current, to bring DeFi yield to Current’s three million U.S customers. You can try Acala’s Apps on testnet today.

Acala was founded

Acala was founded in Oct 2019, and today has received five Web3 Foundation grants, has backing from Coinbase Ventures, Pantera Capital, Polychain Capital, and other top firms, and has a distributed team in New Zealand, China, Europe, South America, and the United States.

Staking Liquidity

Release staked assets (DOTs) as fungible & liquid assets (L-DOTs), extracting the derivative value of staked assets to fuel DeFi without sacrificing the security of the whole network.

Powered by Polkadot

Acala Network is secured under Polkadot’s shared security model, ensuring high resilience and forkless upgradability.

Influence by Ownership

A decentralized network governed entirely by Acala Network Token (ACA) holders to achieve a transparent future: a future based on more truth and less trust.

This paper proposes a self-sustaining economic model for the era of connected digital jurisdictions – a dSWF to hold foreign cryptocurrency reserve with value, yield & utility, to secure a parachain on for itself & others, R&D for generations to come, all on behalf of & governed by token holders.
