About Agora
Agora is on a mission to build a more financially inclusive future by making the power and utility of the US Dollar accessible across the globe. AUSD is the first fully collateralized, freely tradable digital dollar that is partner-focused, open, scalable, and dependable: a currency that works, wherever you are. Our goal is to create a more stable and accessible cryptocurrency that empowers individuals and businesses. We leverage cutting-edge technology to deliver secure and efficient financial solutions to our partners around the world.
What we’re building
First and foremost, we’re building an engineering organization dedicated to producing the best. We are building a culture where we work as a team, operate as a unit, and trust each other to produce the best code and culture we can.
Agora’s first product — a fully collateralized, freely tradeable USD stablecoin — will be launched in the year ahead. It will compete directly with the heavyweight stables in the market today but will differentiate materially in terms of its value proposition, resource allocation, and go-to-market strategy. The stable’s collateral will be managed by VanEck, one of the world’s largest asset managers and ETF issuers (~$80B AUM).
