The partnership will enable its dApp developers to accept low cost, price-stable payments through a new token bridge technology.
Solana COO Raj Gokal said:
“By bringing stablecoins onto our network, we aim to dramatically expand the design space for developers, opening the door to novel applications that require price-stable payments.”
By prioritizing support for stablecoins with Terra that it can accelerate the DeFi ecosystem within Solana. The network will be incorporated into the Solana ecosystem through a low-latency bridge, creating the ability to burn tokens from one chain and mint them on the other.
Gokal continues:
“Beyond the bridge, this is an important step for both communities, as we also envision a close partnership moving forward. We are encouraged by the support that Terra has shown Solana during the time we’ve worked together and expect big things to come from this partnership.”
