Users will be able to earn ACA-aUSD liquidity provider tokens. The asset enables acquiring ACA, the stablecoin aUSD, or paying trading fees.
As part of the program, the project team will direct $200,000 of surplus network reserves toward token buybacks. The staking yield depends on participation; there is no fixed rate.
According to the statement, ACA is a “non-inflationary” coin, which:
- facilitates operations with aUSD and underpins Acala’s treasury;
- serves as collateral for the issuance of the stablecoin;
- allows participation in protocol governance.
In the last 24 hours, the coin has risen 15.5% (CoinGecko) and trades around $0.31.
In November 2021, the project won the first auction for a Polkadot parachain slot.
In March, Acala launched the aUSD Ecosystem Fund for $250 million to spur the use of the project’s stablecoin.
