One of the biggest PoS altcoin projects in the market is about to enter the big week. A new stablecoin and a new protocol are expected to be released next week.
This altcoin is gearing up for a busy schedule
Cardano, one of the most popular proof-of-stake projects, recently announced the imminent launch of its new stablecoin Djed. Djed will be listed on Cardano-based decentralized exchanges (DEX) MinSwap and MuesliSwap, as well as many other decentralized finance apps.
The launch of the Djed (DJED) stablecoin is expected to be a boon for Cardano’s ailing DeFi ecosystem as it will likely bring much more liquidity. As Kriptokoin.com, we have included other developments from the Djed and Cardano ecosystem in this article.
The algorithm of the much talked about stablecoin is based on a collateral ratio of 400%-800%. On top of that, the mainnet version of Liqwid Labs, a non-custodial interest rate protocol on the blockchain, is scheduled to launch next week. Liqwid Labs acts as a decentralized marketplace for borrowers and lenders.
