Launch Your Own Stablecoin with Agora

Stablecoins have become the settlement layer of the digital economy. You already have the customers, the distribution, and the brand. Agora gives you the one thing you don't have: a complete platform to issue and operate your own.

Your brand. Your dollar.

For a company with an established network, a branded stablecoin becomes a shared settlement asset across your customers, vendors, and partners. It moves value instantly and around the clock, all inside your product and your brand.

Your whitelabel dollar is backed 1:1 by AUSD, Agora's fully-reserved stablecoin. AUSD's reserves are custodied by State Street and managed by VanEck, giving your dollar access to AUSD's stability and reserve infrastructure while carrying your name.

Agora's routes convert between fiat, USDC, AUSD, and your token at 1:1 automatically. Your business and your users inherit a simple way to move into and out of your dollar, while maintaining control of where new supply is minted.

Your dollar can also do more than move money; it can create a new revenue stream. Agora can share rewards with you based on your token's circulating supply, and you decide whether to keep them or pass them through to your users. If you want tighter control, you can also choose to limit who is allowed to hold, mint, or redeem your dollar, so you always know the actors in your network.

The result is a digital, branded dollar built around the network you already have with the stablecoin infrastructure provided out-of-the-box by Agora.

Case Study: How Iris turned a network into a rail

The Iris Dollar, USDi, was built on Agora by the Iris Foundation, one of our first whitelabel partners. Iris recognized the opportunity in optimizing what every telecom already has: physical networks, verified customers, billing relationships. It turned those into a settlement network, with USDi as the shared dollar between operators. Any network with the same assets can do the same.

VIVA, a mobile operator serving millions of customers across Bolivia and Mexico, was the first carrier to adopt USDi. Rather than hold operating funds in a volatile local currency, VIVA settles transactions in a dollar-backed asset today, and it is preparing to put wallets and USDi in the hands of its users.

USDi minting and redemption: the customer sends USD to Agora, Agora supplies AUSD to the USDi contract, and the customer receives USDi. Redemption reverses the flow.
