Acala is a decentralised finance network, offering a secure blockchain platform underpinned by Polkadot. Alongside, it provides a suite of cross-chain financial applications that empower users to engage in various activities. Governance of the decentralised network relies solely on the ACA token, which also serves as the utility token for network operations. Activities include trading on Acala Swap, accessing self-serviced loans with the stablecoin Acala Dollar (aUSD), becoming liquidity providers, participating in staking derivatives through Liquid DOT staking (LDOT), and earning high-interest APY on digital assets. The network boasts scalability, Ethereum compatibility, and optimization for DeFi purposes. A key feature is its bridging capability to Ethereum, Bitcoin, and other networks like Compound Gateway.
