In the ever-evolving realm of decentralized finance (DeFi), the surge of 2020 brought global access to decentralized banking. Acala recognized the need to adapt and embarked on a journey to become the cross-chain financial cornerstone of Polkadot. Offering a diverse array of financial instruments, Acala has swiftly emerged as a key DeFi player on Polkadot, with its growing community of 178,000 account holders poised to expand further as it continues to redefine DeFi's landscape.

What is Acala

Acala is a comprehensive DeFi ecosystem within the Polkadot network, fortified by the security of the underlying blockchain. This platform encompasses an array of cross-chain financial applications, earning it the reputation as the DeFi hub within the Polkadot ecosystem. At its core, Acala introduces a decentralized exchange (DEX) powered by an automated market model (AMM), enabling users to partake in trading activities while also offering the opportunity to stake DOT tokens through their Homa platform. In addition to the DEX, Acala further introduces the Honzon stablecoin protocol, enhancing the platform's versatility and expanding its offerings for users seeking robust and reliable DeFi solutions.

The Acala project team

Founded in October 2019 by Ruitao Su, Bette Chen, Bryan Chen, and Antonia Chen, Acala shares its roots with Laminar, a trailblazing Ethereum-based platform that powers margin and synthetic asset trading. The turning point came when they met Fuyao Jiang, creator of PolkaWallet, during a Substrate Hackathon in China. This encounter marked the inception of the Acala network.

How does Acala work

Acala boasts a diverse range of services within its ecosystem. Functioning as a decentralized financial hub for Polkadot with Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) compatibility, Acala seamlessly integrates both DOT-based and Ethereum-based assets and decentralized applications (dApps). Central to Acala is its AMM-based DEX, Acala Swaps, offering a comprehensive suite of DeFi services.

Beyond the DEX, Acala features two critical protocols enhancing Polkadot's stability and liquidity: Honzon and Homa. Honzon drives the stablecoin protocol, anchored by the US dollar-pegged stablecoin aUSD. This stablecoin is backed by a collateralized debt positions (CDP) system, utilizing assets like Polkadot (DOT), Bitcoin (BTC), or Ethereum (ETH) for security.

Homa, on the other hand, is Acala's staking platform. When staking participants stake DOT, they are awarded the equivalent amount of LDOT which remains liquid and tradable across all platforms. LDOT can be swapped back into DOT at anytime by its holders.

Acala’s native token: ACA

ACA is Acala Network’s native cryptocurrency, primarily serving as the network’s governance token. Launched in January 2022, the token has a max and total supply of 1 billion units.

ACA token use cases

ACA has several use cases, with the main one being governance. This means that by owning it, users gain the right to vote on various proposals involving the project. Apart from that, ACA is also used in staking, as a medium of exchange, and as an incentive for nodes.

Distribution of ACA

ACA is distributed as follows:

  • 11.66 percent: Project’s backers
  • 18.33 percent: Early investors
  • 20.25 percent: Founding team
  • 34 percent: Liquidity program and auction reserve
  • 5 percent: Ecosystem development
  • 10.76 percent: Foundation’s reserve

Consensus Mechanism
Acala operates on a hybrid consensus framework built using Substrate, combining aspects of Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS) and Polkadot’s shared security model. Core Components: Nominated Proof of Stake (NPoS): Validator Selection: Acala utilizes NPoS to select validators responsible for producing blocks and maintaining network integrity. Validators are elected based on the amount of ACA tokens they self-stake and receive from nominators. Nominators: Token holders can nominate trustworthy validators by staking their ACA tokens, indirectly participating in network security and governance. Polkadot Shared Security: Relay Chain Integration: Acala leverages Polkadot’s relay chain for security, ensuring that validators in the Polkadot ecosystem collectively secure the network. Cross-Chain Communication: As a parachain in the Polkadot ecosystem, Acala supports secure cross-chain interactions with other parachains and the relay chain via the Cross-Consensus Messaging (XCM) protocol. Instant Finality with BABE and GRANDPA: Block Production (BABE): Blocks are produced using the Blind Assignment for Blockchain Extension (BABE) protocol, which ensures equitable block assignment among validators. Finalization (GRANDPA): The GHOST-based Recursive ANcestor Deriving Prefix Agreement (GRANDPA) protocol provides deterministic finality, where blocks are finalized rapidly with validator consensus. Decentralized Governance Integration: Validators and nominators participate in governance decisions, aligning network operations with the community’s interests and ensuring decentralized protocol upgrades.
Incentive Mechanisms and Applicable Fees
Acala’s incentive mechanism is designed to align network participation with security and functionality, while its fee structure supports decentralized finance (DeFi) operations, ensuring efficiency and affordability for users. Incentive Mechanisms: Staking Rewards: Validators and nominators earn ACA tokens for securing the network and validating transactions. Liquid Staking (LDOT): Users stake DOT tokens for LDOT, enabling staking rewards while retaining liquidity. Governance Incentives: ACA holders participate in governance and protocol decisions. Liquidity Provider Rewards: Users earn fees and ACA/aUSD incentives for providing liquidity to the DEX. Stablecoin Rewards: Incentives for creating and using Acala’s aUSD stablecoin. Applicable Fees: Transaction Fees: Paid in ACA or supported tokens (aUSD, DOT) for asset transfers, smart contracts, and DeFi interactions. DeFi Protocol Fees: Applied to borrowing, swaps, and collateralized positions, distributed to validators and treasury. Dynamic Fee Model: Adjusts fees based on network demand for cost-efficiency. Treasury and Burn: Portions of fees support the treasury or are burned to reduce token supply.

Energy consumption sources and methodologies
For the calculation of energy consumptions, the so called “bottom-up” approach is being used. The nodes are considered to be the central factor for the energy consumption of the network. These assumptions are made on the basis of empirical findings through the use of public information sites, open-source crawlers and crawlers developed in-house. The main determinants for estimating the hardware used within the network are the requirements for operating the client software. The energy consumption of the hardware devices was measured in certified test laboratories. Due to the structure of this network, it is not only the mainnet that is responsible for energy consumption. In order to calculate the structure adequately, a proportion of the energy consumption of the connected network, polkadot, must also be taken into account, because the connected network is also responsible for security. This proportion is determined on the basis of gas consumption. When calculating the energy consumption, we used - if available - the Functionally Fungible Group Digital Token Identifier (FFG DTI) to determine all implementations of the asset of question in scope and we update the mappings regulary, based on data of the Digital Token Identifier Foundation.
