Crypto users, investors and traders looking for a decentralized finance network and liquidity hub of Polkadot

About Acala

Scale your DApp to Polkadot with Acala, an Ethereum-compatible smart contract platform optimized for DeFi. Acala is the decentralized finance network and liquidity hub of Polkadot. It’s a layer-1 smart contract platform that’s scalable, Ethereum-compatible, and optimized for DeFi with built-in liquidity and ready-made financial applications. With its trustless exchange, decentralized stablecoin (aUSD), DOT Liquid Staking (LDOT), and EVM+, Acala lets developers access the best of Ethereum and the full power of substrate. Access DOT-based assets and derivatives, Polkadot-native decentralized stablecoin, Polkadot ecosystem assets, and cross-chain assets from Bitcoin, Ethereum and beyond. Acala’s chain is customized for DeFi and can continue to upgrade without forks to integrate new features requested from developers. For example, on-chain ‘keepers’ automate protocol execution to better manage risks and improve user experience, or transaction fees payable with virtually any token.

mStable
mStable
mStable is an open and decentralized protocol that unites stablecoins, lending and swapping into one standard. Autonomous and non-custodial stablecoin infrastructure. mStable combines lending income with trading fees to produce higher yielding assets. Smart contract security is mStable’s first priority. The mStable protocol was fully audited by Consensys Diligence and no critical bugs were found. mStable is governed by MTA holders who have staked their tokens to vote on proposals. mStable's governance goes through a process where consensus is reached in progressively concrete stages. Proposals and ideas are surfaced on the Discord or public forum, and are finalized by on-chain signalling by MTA holders. mStable is a collection of autonomous, descentralice, and non-custodial smart contracts. It is built on Ethereum. mStable assets (hereafter mAssets) represent some underlying value peg and are minted/redeemed on-chain via smart contracts.

Karura
Karura
Meet Karura’s all-in-one DeFi platform to help you swap, borrow, lend, earn, and more – all with micro gas fees. Kusama and Polkadot are independent, standalone networks built in nearly the exact same way, but Kusama has faster governance parameters and higher risk tolerance. Karura will deliver decentralized financial products and stable assets to Kusama’s entire ecosystem of networks. Karura settles transactions for a fraction of the gas required on other networks. Thanks to Kusama’s weight-based fee model, you can count on micro gas fees that vary only slightly by transaction complexity. Empowers the community to vote, elect council members, and drive the development of Karura. Karura Apps offers the ability to trustlessly trade tokens without intermediaries through Karura Swap. Karura Swap is a trustless, automated market maker (AMM)-styled decentralized exchange on the Karura network.

BNB Smart Chain (BSC)
BNB Smart Chain (BSC)
BNB Smart Chain (BSC) is a blockchain platform developed by Binance, designed to enable decentralized applications (dApps) and smart contracts. It operates as a parallel chain to Binance Chain, combining high-speed transactions with the programmability of Ethereum-compatible smart contracts. BSC uses a Proof-of-Staked-Authority (PoSA) consensus mechanism, which enhances scalability and efficiency while reducing transaction costs. It is compatible with the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM), allowing developers to easily port dApps and projects from Ethereum. BSC has become a popular choice for decentralized finance (DeFi), gaming, and NFT ecosystems, offering users a fast, low-cost, and secure platform for blockchain-based innovations.

ParaState
ParaState
Write Ethereum-compatible smart contracts in popular programming languages, & run them much faster, on Substrate. A decentralized open source business model funded by developer treasuries on participating blockchains. All existing Ethereum smart contracts work on ParaState’s Ewasm VM (Pallet SSVM) without any change. ParaState expands the developer ecosystem by supporting 20+ programming languages to create Ethereum-compatible smart contracts. Examples include generic programming languages such as Solidity, Fe, Rust, and JavaScript, and domain-specific languages (DSLs) such as MOVE, DeepSEA, and Marlowe. Substrate-based blockchains, such as Polkadot parachains, already enjoy much higher TPS (transactions per second) than Ethereum. For a smart contract platform, compute performance is more important than TPS throughput. Try deploying smart contracts on ParaState.
