This collaboration brings together Ascent’s expertise in scalability, security, and efficiency with its commitment to community, decentralization, and innovation, while strengthening Stably’s global Stablecoin-as-a-Service (SCaaS) and fiat ramp infrastructure offerings across various blockchain networks.

Stably, headquartered in Washington, is a venture-backed FinTech firm offering regulatory-compliant Stablecoin-as-a-Service (SCaaS) and fiat on/off-ramp infrastructure.

  • Scalable and Efficient: Stably focuses on providing a scalable, efficient system that remains responsive as adoption increases​​.
  • User-Centric Approach: Stably prioritizes a nurturing, user-centric environment, offering substantial support for developers​​.

The partnership empowers users with seamless access to the broader Stably and Ascent Exchange ecosystems, facilitated by $ZUSD — a fully backed stablecoin developed by Stably in collaboration with Horizen Labs.

This ensures optimal trading conditions for Ascent Exchange’s soon-to-be-launched $AEX ERC-20 utility token, incentivizes deep liquidity on the platform, and leverages Stably’s innovative stablecoin infrastructure through $ZUSD.

Stably’s commitment to powering Web3 users with innovative stablecoin and fiat ramp infrastructure aligns with Ascent Exchange’s objectives of a community centric approach powered by scalability, security, and ultra-deep liquidity.

Stably’s ZUSD

ZUSD, launched by Stably in collaboration with Horizen Labs, is a fully-backed stablecoin pivotal to this partnership. The collateral backing ZUSD is held in cash, cash equivalents, and Circle’s USD Coin (USDC). ZUSD, as well as the other stablecoins issued by Stably, undergo periodic reviews by an independent accounting firm to validate that each stablecoin in circulation is backed 1-to-1 with collateral.

As a result,ZUSD is positioned as a trustworthy and stable digital asset within the Ascent Exchange ecosystem

Horizen EON’s advanced smart contracting platform underpins this partnership. Its ability to facilitate the efficient development and deployment of decentralized applications while leveraging the Ethereum ecosystem makes it an ideal match for the advanced solutions offered by Stably. This synergy is vital for the progress of blockchain technology and the expansion of the Web3 economy, which Ascent Exchange and Stably are committed to driving forward.​
