Acala Foundat # 2. Overview The significance of cross-chain communication to the blockchain is like that of the internet to the intranet. Polkadot empowers a network of public, consortium and private blockchains, and enables true interoperability, economic and transactional scalability. A cross-chain stablecoin system will: -1. create a sound, stable currency for low cost, borderless value transfer for all chains in the network -2. enable commerical lending with predictable risk -3. serve as a building block for more open finance services +1.
