The main product of the Acala chain, aUSD, is a crypto-backed, decentralized, multi-collateralized stablecoin.

In addition to Manta and Acala, other parachain teams that contribute to the fund are the asset finance protocol Centrifuge, the NFT and gaming platform Efinity, the WASM + EVM hub Astar Network and the Ethereum interoperability protocol Moonbeam.
Others include the DEX chain HydraDX, the DeFi multi-chain Parallel, and the forecast marketplace Zeitgeist.
Kenny Li, co-founder of Manta Network, commented on the importance of the fund to the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystem.
“”We are excited to support the aUSD Ecosystem Fund and look forward to integrating privacy into new use cases and the projects that result from them. With Polkadot’s native interoperability, every new idea launched in the ecosystem adds value to every parachain.“”.
DEX and DAO between target projects
The fund is open to startups using Solidity or Substrate-based applications such as payment solutions, money markets, decentralized exchanges (DEX), derivatives, DAOs and asset managers.
The Parachain team is confident that cross-chain activities in the Polkadot ecosystem will push aUSD to broader adoption and benefit all parachains in the process.
Acala Network, Moonbeam, Astar and Parallel will outline their respective development milestones since joining Polkadot late Wednesday. The project also Parachain takeover event.
