Acala Token

<p><em>Originally published on May 12, 2022</em></p><p>We are excited to welcome Satori to the Acala ecosystem! Satori will allow shared liquidity and trading across different Polkadot Parachains, enabling Acala users a more unified and robust trading experience. Satori’s decentralized derivatives platform utilizes full utility for DOT holders and leverages derivatives trading on Polkadot with Acala’s aUSD and LDOT as collateral.</p><h2 id="header-0"><strong>Meet Satori: A Polkadot Derivatives Powerhouse</strong></h2><p>Satori is an exchange platform serving retail and institutional investors, allowing them to leverage derivative trading with their DOT tokens. The platform empowers traders by enabling free expression in money markets to overcome capital inefficiencies through creative financial transactions, otherwise unavailable in spot markets. Users can grow their earnings by executing sophisticated trades involving leverage while simultaneously accessing the flexibility to formulate payoff and risk profiles tailored to their needs.</p><p>The platform caters to both sides of its user base; retail investors benefit from the execution of both orderbook and AMMs, while institutional investors enjoy a robust exchange experience with ready-to-use APIs, lightning-fast transaction execution, and resilience against extreme market events. Satori delivers all these services via a simple U.I. that individual investors will appreciate.</p><p>Satori aims to help DOT holders unlock the full potential of DOT by giving them access to their own derivatives platform. DOT owners will access a broader market and experience more use cases for their tokens after the launch of Satori in Acala’s EVM&#43; and additional parachains.</p><h2 id="header-1"><strong>Derivatives 101</strong></h2><p>A<a href="https://www.fatpigsignals.com/blog/cryptocurrency-derivatives-101-a-beginners-guide-on-crypto-futures-crypto-options-and-perpetual-contracts/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> derivative</a> is a contract between two traders where the underlying resource determines the agreement’s value; in Satori’s case, the asset is any crypto supported by the platform. Satori brings derivatives in all forms to the Polkadot ecosystem. Satori’s launch on Acala’s EVM&#43; and access to Polkadot’s ecosystem improves the circulation/liquidity of tokens supported by the different Polkadot Parachains, including Acala.</p><p>Derivatives in Polkadot (and Acala) will help keep transaction costs low and the market efficient. Trading crypto derivatives is cheaper than directly trading cryptocurrencies, mitigating crypto trading risks like market volatility; traders can still gain from their derivatized assets when the market performance is against them.</p><h2 id="header-2"><strong>Satori will Integrate aUSD and LDOT as Collateral</strong></h2><p>Acala EVM&#43; combines the Ethereum Virtual Machine with the customization and flexibility of Substrate, Polkadot’s blockchain development framework. Projects like Satori can exploit DeFi primitives, liquidity, userbase, customizable economic policies, flexible fees, native cross-chain compatibilities, and more on the Acala EVM&#43;.</p><p>Over the coming weeks, Satori will integrate<a href="https://medium.com/acalanetwork/acala-launches-polkadots-native-stablecoin-ausd-a-decentralized-multi-collateral-stable-1b2efd029326" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> aUSD</a> and <a href="https://medium.com/acalanetwork/acala-launches-dot-liquid-staking-on-polkadot-22f4060a2454" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">LDOT</a> as collateral for trades on its platform. With Satori’s multi-parachain deployment strategy, this connectivity creates different markets to use aUSD and LDOT for additional yield.</p><p>Satori’s launch on Acala’s EVM&#43; enables users to extract optimal utility and liquidity from their DOT tokens and access aUSD collateral. Acala enables value extraction through minting aUSD with supported crypto as collateral, and Satori provides a high-quality derivatives platform for DOT holders.</p><h3 id="follow-the-integration">Follow the Integration</h3><p>The Acala and Satori teams will keep the community updated on the integration of Satori, including more education around Satori’s products, team, and roadmap.
