What is Acala？Acala 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.Stable CurrencyMultiple-asset-backed decentralized digital currency without volatility. Stable by design, aUSD enables borderless and low-cost value transfer globally across all connected blockchains.Staking LiquidityRelease 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 PolkadotAcala Network is secured under Polkadot's shared security model, ensuring high resilience and forkless upgradability.Influence by OwnershipA decentralized network governed entirely by Acala Network Token (ACA) holders to achieve a transparent future: a future based on more truth and less trust.Acala AppsAn all-in-one DeFi service centerBorrowBorrow aUSD and manage outstanding loansEarnEarn interest on aUSDTradeTrade tokens on Decentralized ExchangeGovernParticipate in governance by ACA holders
