About Us
Acala is a decentralized finance (DeFi) network with the goal of building Web3 finance's liquidity foundation. Its goal is to enable everyone, wherever they may be, to have access to financial services. As a core part of the Polkadot ecosystem, Acala provides a range of financial products, including its key offering, Acala USD (aUSD)—a decentralized, crypto-backed stablecoin that serves as Polkadot’s native stablecoin.
Built specifically for financial applications, Acala’s blockchain platform is trusted by major players like Coinbase, Figment, and Current.com for its reliable infrastructure. At the heart of Acala’s network is its specialized appchain, with features like the Universal Asset Hub, which supports DOT liquid staking tokens (LST), a decentralized exchange (DEX), and a multichain asset router bridge. These tools provide developers with everything they need to build and scale financial applications. Acala's forkless upgrading strategy makes sure that its blockchain can adapt to changing needs without causing network disruptions.
