Layer 2 decentralized exchange protocol Injective has announced a partnership with Acala to integrate the Acala Dollar (aUSD) into its Polkadot-based derivative trading ecosystem.
According to the announcement, the integration of aUSD will provide a stable and well-built digital token that can be employed to collateralize Polkadot-based derivative products on Injective.
According to the decentralized protocol, this would provide more opportunities for users to create new derivative products alongside Injective as well as increase the use cases for aUSD.
Expressing his excitement with the new partnership, Injective CEO Eric Chen said both parties are thrilled with the new collaboration. He noted that both Injective and Acala are looking forward to unveiling a truly decentralized derivatives exchange that is able to attract the rapidly growing Polkadot community.
“As the Polkadot ecosystem continues to surge in usage and developer activity, it is important for Injective to cater to new DeFi hubs that exist outside of purely Ethereum,” he said.
About Acala
Acala is the decentralized financial platform of Polkadot. The platform includes several collections of financial primitives, which include its multi-collateralized Acala Dollar stablecoin.
aUSD is backed by several digital assets, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Polkadot, which aid in retaining its decentralized nature.
Acala CEO Ruitao Su, in a statement, said his team was excited to collaborate with Injective towards the successful deployment of the aUSD on their derivatives exchange.
“We are excited to see the Acala Dollar being introduced to this platform, which will certainly lead to the creation of new derivative products and overall usage for our novel stablecoin,” he said.
It’s worth noting that Acala and Injective are both Pantera Capital portfolio projects and DeFi Alliance members. They share a similar vision to fully decentralize the traditional finance system.
