Paxos Labs Partners With Aleo To Launch USAD Stablecoin

Paxos Labs have announced a partnership with Aleo Network to launch a privacy focused stablecoin called $USAD, according to their press release.

The sister company of Paxos has revealed it is partnering with Aleo Network (an L1 blockchain) to work on scaling a new stablecoin built-for privacy and secure onchain payments. At the core of the architecture will be an encryption for every transaction using ZK (Zero-Knowledge) proofs and the AleoBFT consensys mechanism.

Highlighting the news, Co-founder at Paxos Labs Bhau Kotecha expressed:

“Stablecoins have proven to be one of the most powerful innovations in financial markets, and we are only scratching the surface of their potential. Partnering with Aleo allows us to bring digital dollars into a new era where enterprises can embed money that is private, programmable, and trusted from the ground up.”

Adding to this, COO at Aleo Leena Im stated:

“Privacy is the missing link in blockchain adoption at scale, and with USAD we are proving it can exist in a programmable stablecoin. By pairing Aleo’s technology with Paxos Labs’ issuance stack, we are taking a joint, front-door approach with enterprises to show that digital dollars can be both trusted and transparent to oversight while protecting user confidentiality.”

When more stablecoins are being launched on popular public blockchains across Ethereum and Solana, this presents the opportunity for novel solutions to make use of the stablecoin use-case for a more private, enterprise environment. Aleo Network has also recently joined the Global Dollar Network as a distributor.
