Polygon’s AggLayer adopts Agora’s AUSD as native currency
AUSD now powers AggLayer on Polygon, optimizing crosschain liquidity and eliminating token bridges.
Agora, a stablecoin company, has introduced its AUSD stablecoin as the native currency for Polygon’s AggLayer, a crosschain settlement network, to enable multichain transactions via a stable, fiat-backed asset.
The partnership aims to eliminate the need for token bridges, simplifying and unifying liquidity for developers and end-users in the AggLayer community onchain.
Agora is a stablecoin startup co-founded by Nick van Eck, Drake Evans and Joe McGrady. Custodians, including State Street and VanEck, back its institutional-grade stablecoin AUSD.
