Cardano to Host its First Stablecoin

As per Charles Hoskinson, leader of Cardano, and Shahaf Bar-Geffen, CEO of COTI group, Cardano will receive its first-ever stablecoin from COTI. The stablecoin goes by the name Djed. The duo relayed this message at the Cardano Summit stage in Laramie, Wyoming, on Sunday.

Shahaf said that Djed has an algorithmic design that will use Cardano’s Smart contract to ensure its price stability. The Smart contracts Programming will also ensure that Djed has efficient transaction functionality.

The software developing company plans to release this coin to Cardano’s blockchain that has now started supporting Smart contracts. The crypto market expects these Smart contracts to harbor DeFi projects that are now the ‘perfect ETH killers.’

Shahaf also said that Djed maintains a reserve of some coins. Meanwhile, it will still allow the minting and burning of more recent crypto assets. He also noted that Djed aims at facilitating gas fees on the Cardano network.

Charles also said that Djed shares Cardano’s commitment to formal verification. This feature provides robust combating price volatility in the crypto market.
