Global digital dollar issuer Agora has officially brought its flagship stablecoin, AUSD, to the highly anticipated Monad blockchain ahead of the network’s mainnet launch. This move instantly positions AUSD as the primary institutional-grade stablecoin for one of the most hyped Layer-1 ecosystems of 2025.

-Deep, credible liquidity from launch: AUSD is fully backed 1:1 by cash and cash equivalents (including short-term U.S. Treasuries) and is already integrated with leading custodians and audited by top-tier firms. Monad now inherits battle-tested, regulated stablecoin infrastructure instead of relying on unproven or under-collateralized alternatives.

-Designed for high-throughput environments: Monad’s parallel-execution architecture targets 10,000+ TPS with sub-second finality. AUSD was selected specifically because its issuance/redemption rails and on-chain design are optimized for extreme throughput and low-latency DeFi—critical for perps, order-book DEXs, and consumer payments at scale.

-Bootstrapping a flywheel: By anchoring AUSD as the default money layer, Monad ensures that lending markets, perpetuals, prediction markets, and payment apps have immediate access to deep, stable liquidity. This dramatically lowers the barrier for builders and reduces the usual “chicken-and-egg” liquidity problem that plagues new L1s.

This launch effectively gives Monad what most new chains spend 12–24 months (and hundreds of millions in incentives) trying to achieve: trusted, high-volume stablecoin liquidity on day one.

With AUSD now live and multiple top-tier DeFi teams (including several Tier-1 perps and lending protocols) confirming Monad deployments, the network is positioning itself as the first true “high-performance Ethereum successor” that doesn’t force users to compromise on stablecoin quality or regulatory robustness.
