Acala

aid: acala
name: Acala
description: Acala is the decentralized finance (DeFi) and liquidity hub of the Polkadot ecosystem, operating the Acala parachain
  (and its Kusama-based sister network Karura). Acala offers a scalable, Ethereum-compatible smart-contract platform called
  Acala EVM+, a decentralized stablecoin (aUSD), a liquid staking derivative (LDOT/LcDOT), and a trustless staking and swap
  layer. For developers, Acala EVM+ exposes a standard Ethereum JSON-RPC interface through its EVM+ RPC Adapter (eth-rpc-adapter),
  letting existing Ethereum dApps, wallets (MetaMask), and tooling (Hardhat, Remix, ethers.js, Truffle) interact with the
  Substrate-based chain with minimal changes, alongside a Substrate WebSocket RPC via the @acala-network Polkadot.js API and
  SDK packages.

  description: Acala EVM+ exposes a standard Ethereum JSON-RPC API through the EVM+ RPC Adapter, which wraps Substrate RPC
    calls to provide Ethereum execution-apis compatible endpoints (eth_*, net_*, web3_*) so Ethereum dApps and tooling can
    interact with the Acala and Karura EVM+ environments. A Substrate WebSocket RPC is also available for Polkadot.js-based
    access.
