Laika’s BSC⬌xDai bridge is now LIVE!
xDai Stable Chain becomes the eighth chain to join the Laika Protocol ecosystem!
You are now able to bridge Laika Protocol via xDai’s official OmniBridge and begin exploring the eight chain to join the Laika ecosystem! This is yet another major milestone for the Laika Protocol team and community and is an important stepping stone as we prepare for major changes in the DeFi space over the coming months.
What is the xDai chain?
The xDai chain is an Ethereum-based sidechain that uses a Proof-of-Stake mechanism. It has been live since late 2018 and uses a stablecoin, xDai, as its native cryptocurrency.
As the project’s site puts it, transactions on the xDai chain are “very fast, very inexpensive, and require a single token (xDai).”
What is the xDai cryptocurrency?
This native cryptocurrency of the xDai chain has a price that’s pegged to the US Dollar, making it a stablecoin similar to USDC, Tether, and… the original Dai! Being pegged to the US Dollar is what makes the cryptocurrency “stable,” as it’s supposed to always be worth 1 US Dollar.
You don’t need to understand all the mechanics of a stablecoin to learn about xDai, but it’s never a bad idea to learn!
The difference between the previously-mentioned stablecoins and xDai is that the others are tokens that operate on Ethereum, while the xDai chain is its own separate network.
