Djed will serve as an alternative way to pay transaction fees on the blockchain. As the first of Cardano’s decentralized finance (DeFi) protocols are set to debut on the network soon, using a stablecoin to carry out transactions will ensure that fee structures are transparent and more predictable for users. “I believe that adding the Djed stablecoin to the Cardano blockchain will significantly improve how transactions are settled on the platform,” said Shahaf Bar-Geffen, CEO, COTI Group.
A launch date is yet to be announced for the Djed stablecoin. But the COTI group will work in conjunction with the Cardano Foundation to bring this project to life on the blockchain.
