Astar Network and Acala Announce Partnership in a Major Boost to DeFi on Polkadot

Acala’s suite of flexible financial products that serve the Polkadot network are pivotal to the booming ecosystem of dApps on Astar. The collaboration will enable developers to build on Astar’s vibrant DeFi ecosystem using Acala-native assets like aUSD, LDOT, and ACA, while receiving extra ACA and additional rewards from various Astar ecosystem teams.

The DeFi Rising program is the first step towards a thriving DeFi ecosystem leveraging the power of Astar’s Cross-Consensus Messaging Format (XCM) to execute trustless and decentralized cross-chain transfers.

Projects adding utility to aUSD on Astar Network can apply for Acala’s $250 million aUSD Ecosystem Fund and Astar’s SpaceLabs program. The $250 million aUSD Ecosystem Fund supports early-stage startups building applications with strong stablecoin use cases on any Polkadot or Kusama parachain. It is seeking Solidity or Substrate-based applications driving yield or utility for aUSD, including money markets, DEXs, derivatives, asset management, DAOs, payments, and other use cases.
