Cardano’s Algorithmic Stablecoin Set To Launch In Jan 2023

Cardano-based first-ever algorithmic stablecoin DJED would be rolled out in the month of January next year. This was revealed by Shahaf Bar-Geffen, CTO of the COTI network in a recent podcast hosted by a crypto-focused channel big pey.

Earlier, Bar-Geffen stated Djed would be deployed to the mainnet once the Vasil Hard fork and the final audits are complete.

Djed, an ADA-powered algorithmic stablecoin that operates as an autonomous bank, was launched on testnet on May 4. Developed by Cardano’s IOG and issued by COTI. It employs SHEN as a reserve coin and is backed by ADA.

As reported by TronWeekly, the stablecoin’s testnet version was successfully launched a few months ago.

Immediately after the testnet launch of the stablecoin, a level 2 audit certification of the on-chain code was conducted to remove any chances of security vulnerabilities and ensure that the specification and code are of good quality in terms of understanding and maintainability.

More than 514k Djeds have been minted on the platform. In addition, 6,688,918 SHEN reserve coins were minted, giving a reserve ratio of 653%.

Last week, Djed team shared on its social media channels, its testnet version was reactivated with a number of new instruments added.

This means the asset is now available for testing with enhanced functionality prior to its mainnet launch.

With the help of a few carefully chosen partners and Decentralized Exchanges [DEXs], the algorithmic stablecoin will be incorporated. DEXs will pay users for utilizing Djed to provide liquidity.
