Stablecoin bridge

Late last year, Syscoin partnered with the stablecoin platform TrustToken to accelerate payments and provide other solutions for the Ethereum blockchain. In addition, 5 TrustToken stablecoins (TUSD, TGBP, THKD, TCAD and TAUD) run in the Syscoin network and are available to users. Sidhu shared:

“The demand for better usability, robust decentralized security, and scalability to ensure that every transaction complies with digital asset regulations is growing. Syscoin is the only suitable option for all of these needs. We look forward to the fact that the Stablecoins TrustToken family is future-proof and that Syscoin will give it a significant edge. ”

The partnership also allows developers to mine two cryptocurrencies at the same time – SYS and BTC.
