View ChartAcala Token (ACA) is the native utility and governance token of the Acala Network, a decentralized liquidity blockchain built to serve as the DeFi hub of the Polkadot ecosystem. Acala describes itself as building the liquidity layer for web3 finance that is captive and sustainable, aiming to provide infrastructures for HyFi (DeFi + CeFi) solutions with crypto and real-world assets. The network offers a Universal Asset Hub that hosts multichain liquid staking token protocols, an AMM decentralized exchange, and an EVM-compatible application platform built on Substrate. Acala is secured by Polkadot and positions itself as the liquidity gateway of Polkadot parachains and L1/L2 blockchains. The ACA token has a total supply capped at 1.6 billion tokens, with approximately 1.17 billion ACA circulating, representing roughly 72.92% of the total supply. The project was founded in 2019. Its Start Date is 2020-08-28, it secured its Polkadot parachain slot in November 2021, and the network's Genesis block launched on December 18, 2021. Acala secured its Polkadot parachain slot in November 2021, with over 32 million DOT contributed by 81,000 participants over seven days, and the network's Genesis block launched on December 18, 2021. The project continues to develop its ecosystem of DeFi products and cross-chain infrastructure.
The Acala Network was founded in 2019 by Ruitao Su, Bette Chen, Fuyao Jiang, and Bryan Chen through the Acala foundation. These founders brought together experience from various backgrounds to build a decentralized liquidity blockchain focused on web3 finance. The project raised $61 million through an initial coin offering (ICO) in September 2021. In September 2021, Acala's initial coin offering (ICO) raised $61 million; upon launch in January 2022, these funds were transferred to the on-chain Acala Treasury. The team has continued to develop the network's core products, including the Homa Protocol, Euphrates, and the Universal Asset Hub, while maintaining an active presence in the Polkadot ecosystem. Acala has received five Web3 Foundation grants and has backing from Coinbase Ventures, Pantera Capital, Polychain Capital, and other top firms. Acala is the Polkadot equivalent of Karura, its canary network on Kusama, which was the first project to secure a parachain on Kusama during the summer 2021 slot auctions.
Acala operates as a decentralized liquidity blockchain built on Substrate, secured by Polkadot, with built-in cross-chain capabilities that enable integration of diverse assets for institutions, projects, and individual users. The network's Universal Asset Hub hosts multichain liquid staking token protocols, an AMM decentralized exchange, and an EVM-compatible application platform that is highly customizable. The Homa protocol tokenizes staked assets; its live product, Liquid DOT (LDOT), represents staked DOT plus accrued rewards and can be redeemed for DOT at any time. The Universal Asset Hub hosts multichain liquid staking token protocols, an AMM decentralized exchange, and an EVM-compatible application platform. The network also features Euphrates, a liquidity distribution platform that serves as a one-stop shop for users seeking financial opportunities and for developers aiming to boost liquidity to their applications. Acala's composable DeFi stack allows advanced financial operations leveraging oracle feeds for smart contract development. Honzon is Acala's stablecoin protocol. The stablecoin it issues, aUSD, is pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by crypto assets through collateralized debt positions (CDP); collateral can be provided in DOT or bridged assets such as BTC and ETH, and an Off-Chain Worker monitors and automatically closes positions at risk of liquidation.

These solutions empower users globally to stake assets, maintain liquidity, and participate in various financial activities.
ACA serves multiple critical functions within the Acala Network. As a governance token, ACA is pivotal in regulating network parameters and acting as the transaction fee token within Acala. Token holders can participate in decision-making processes that shape the future of the network, including protocol upgrades and other critical changes, underscoring Acala's decentralized governance framework. ACA also serves as a payment token for transactions on the network. ACA can also be used as a contingency solution against the sudden price collapse of collateral assets: should undercollateralized CDPs cause a sudden price drop, ACA tokens will be automatically diluted and sold for recapitalization. The utility token powers the Acala ecosystem, enabling users to engage with the network's various DeFi products and services.
The Acala ecosystem continues to develop around its core products and infrastructure. The Universal Asset Hub hosts multichain liquid staking token protocols, an AMM decentralized exchange, and an EVM-compatible app platform. Liquid DOT (LDOT) provides a liquid staking solution that allows users to stake DOT while maintaining liquidity, and Euphrates serves as a liquidity distribution platform offering diverse financial opportunities. Honzon is Acala's stablecoin protocol; the stablecoin it issues, aUSD, is pegged to the U.S. dollar and backed by crypto assets through collateralized debt positions (CDP). Acala used a Crowdloan model to fund its initial operation; over 32 million DOT was contributed by 81,000 participants over seven days, and Acala secured its Polkadot parachain slot in November 2021. The ecosystem is supported by a reward program distributing 1.2 million ACA tokens to LDOT holders, and the network maintains active community engagement through its X/Twitter account and other channels.
ACA is not mined through traditional proof-of-work mechanisms. Instead, the token is emitted through the network's staking and liquidity incentive programs. Acala Network emits 100 million ACA annually for up to six years, with half of these emissions allocated to ACA staking, encouraging active participation in network security and governance. The other half is directed toward yield farming in liquidity pools, supporting DApps on the Universal Asset Hub, Euphrates, and other initiatives aimed at boosting liquidity and adoption. Users can earn ACA by staking tokens, participating in liquidity pools, or engaging with the network's various DeFi products. 1% of unspent emissions is burned monthly, plus 20% of accumulated network fees.
Keeping your ACA tokens safe requires adherence to standard cryptocurrency security practices. Use hardware wallets for long-term storage of significant holdings, as they keep private keys offline and protected from online threats. When interacting with the Acala Network or any DeFi platform, ensure you are using official websites and verified links, and double-check URLs before connecting your wallet. Enable two-factor authentication on any exchange accounts and use strong, unique passwords. Be cautious of phishing attempts, fake social media accounts, and unsolicited messages offering token rewards or requiring wallet connections. Regularly update your wallet software and devices to benefit from the latest security patches. For governance participation and staking, understand the risks involved and only commit tokens you can afford to lock. Consider diversifying storage methods and never share your private keys or seed phrases with anyone. Note that staking and DeFi participation carry risks, including smart contract vulnerabilities, price volatility, and regulatory uncertainty.
