What is Acala?
Overview
Acala functions as a liquidity layer for web3 finance, serving both decentralized and centralized finance use cases with support for crypto and real-world assets.

The platform hosts a Universal Asset Hub that includes multichain liquid staking token protocols and serves developers and users seeking DeFi composability across multiple chains.

It features an automated market maker (AMM) for decentralized exchange functionality and an EVM-compatible application platform built on Substrate, allowing developers to customize and deploy applications. Staking tokens can be locked into liquid staking protocols, enabling users to maintain liquidity while participating in network validation.
