Hi community!
This is Joyce from the TrueUSD (TUSD) team. It is our pleasure to join the Aptos community and we are planning to launch a new proposal for adding TUSD Stablecoin on Aptos. I’m hoping to know the Aptos community’s thoughts and perspectives regarding this idea.
- Project Name
TrueUSD (TUSD)
- Project Description - Stablecoin -
TrueUSD is the first digital asset with live on-chain attestations by independent third-party institutions and is backed 1:1 with the U.S. dollar. So far, it has been listed on more than 100 trading platforms and is live on twelve mainstream public chains including Ethereum, TRON, Avalanche, BNB, Fantom, Polygon, Arbitrum, Cronos, Optimism and Aurora, with its total supply surging over $895 million.
TrueUSD is real-time audited by Armanino, one of the largest U.S.-based accounting firms, to ensure the 1:1 ratio of its USD reserve to the circulating token supply and the 100% collateral rate. Users can access the publicly available audit results via the official website TrustExplorer by Armanino: Real-Time Attest for TrueCurrency at any time.
- Value Proposition to the Aptos Ecosystem
We believe that compliance and transparency, the core value of TUSD will shine in the Defi realm with the help of the prosperity of the Aptos ecosystem.
