#show-card ## Introduction [[Acala]] is developing the [[Liquidity]] layer for [[Web3|web3]] finance, aiming to provide sustainable infrastructure for hybrid finance (HyFi) solutions that integrate [[Decentralized finance|decentralized finance]] ([[DeFI]]) and centralized finance (CeFi) with both crypto and real-world assets. Acala offers a Universal Asset Hub that supports multichain liquid [[Staking|staking]] token (LST) protocols (e.g., liquid DOT - LDOT), an [[AMM]] decentralized exchange, and a customizable, EVM-compatible app platform built on [[Substrate]]. Secured by [[Polkadot]], Acala serves as the liquidity gateway for Polkadot [[Parachain|Parachains]] and L1/L2 blockchains. ## Technology Acala's technology integrates advanced components to create a versatile ecosystem. The Acala [[EVM]] ([[Ethereum]] Virtual Machine) allows developers to create, test, and deploy [[DApp]] using familiar tools like Remix and Waffle, ensuring seamless interaction with Acala [[Node|nodes]] via the web3 provider bodhi.js. The blockchain on which Acala Token operates, Polkadot, is designed to support multiple interconnected blockchains, known as parachains. This architecture enhances scalability and interoperability, allowing different blockchains to communicate and share information securely. As a key player in the Polkadot ecosystem, Acala builds partnerships with industry leaders early to drive innovation and growth. It also focuses on providing a liquidity gateway for Polkadot parachains and features an AMM decentralized exchange for seamless asset trading within the ecosystem. ## Social Media | Name | Link | | ----------- | -------------------------- | | Office Site | https://acala.network/ | | Office Docs | https://wiki.acala.network | | X | https://x.com/AcalaNetwork | ## Latest Activity
