Agora Brings AUSD Stablecoin and Yield Products to Monad Ecosystem
The move brings institutional-grade stablecoin infrastructure and a yield-bearing dollar to the high-performance L1, deepening DeFi primitives.
October 16, 2025
Agora is launching its institutional-grade stablecoin, AUSD, on the Monad blockchain.
Backed 1:1 by cash and short-term government debt, AUSD offers a regulated digital dollar.
The collaboration also introduces earnAUSD, a native yield-bearing version of the stablecoin via Upshift.
Agora is deploying its institutional-grade digital dollar, AUSD, on the Monad blockchain, a high-performance Layer 1 network. AUSD is backed 1:1 by U.S. Treasury bills, cash, and overnight reverse repurchase agreements, positioning it as a stable asset for on-chain activities.
This integration provides Monad with core financial infrastructure ahead of its mainnet launch. The partnership also includes the introduction of earnAUSD, a liquid yield token from Upshift. This allows AUSD holders on Monad to access systematic, native yield.

The collaboration signals a broader trend of new blockchains prioritizing robust, compliant stablecoins to attract developers and liquidity. By embedding AUSD and its associated yield products early, Monad aims to build a strong foundation for its decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
