Terra’s UST stablecoin integration with NEAR and the Aurora ecosystem has been a highly expected event by users. Officially, NearPad (an Aurora DeFi gateway) and Rose (a liquidity and stableswap lending protocol, were responsible for the integration.
NEAR team is confident that partners will strengthen Terra’s stablecoin and stablecoin ecosystem as more people adopt Aurora. Users will find new uses for their tokens, such as moving assets from Aurora into Terra or to any compatible blockchain.
Participants will feel compelled to contribute and offer UST liquidity to the aforementioned eco-systems. Aiden Knox (founder of NearPad, Rose) claimed that the integration was as follows:
It will be a major step in the development of the Near and Aurora ecosystems that Terra partners with to bring UST into our community. I’m excited to be working closely with the Terra team to not only bring UST to NearPad and Rose, but also for the deeper integrations and collaborative projects this partnership enables.
NEAR To Support The Fastest Growing Stablecoins
The Near protocol has been working on its interoperable capabilities as the project aims to support a “multi-chain future”. Users will reap the greatest benefits when there are more uses cases and apps become available. They can also reach all assets and projects across different networks.

NEAR was designed for ease of use, security, and scaling. Stablecoins such as UST make it easy to interact with other apps that require a fixed unit of account.
Terra’s ecosystem recently implemented major updates to its mainnet. This provides interoperability and a burn mechanism for its underlying asset, LUNA. NewsBTC has reported that this network has taken crypto-industry by storm.

In addition, Do Kwon, one of Terra’s founders, recently celebrated the expansion in UST as the stablecoin reached a $10 billion market cap. Thus, it has become the largest decentralized stablecoin which demonstrates, according to Kwon, that “there is no more doubt in the product market fit”.
Congratulations @terra_moneyOn reaching $10bn outstanding. It is a remarkable achievement but it will not be compared with the achievements that will follow.
