Bring the US+ Stablecoin to the XDC Network

Just like any successful project, the XDC Network sometimes experiences growing pains that involves uncertainty, formation of procedures, as well as being rough around the edges at times until something beautiful is born upon maturity.

From day one, the founders of the XDC Network have always put the community first, desiring organic growth and leadership from the general public. To which, many have stood up and dedicated their time, energy, and have committed to seeing that real world utility is created on the XDC Network. Tremendous utility and benefits have already been realized for both business and retail users.

To honor the current direction tasked to the XDC Network community, Impel and Fluent Finance are stepping back in time to ask the XDC Network community for their support and feedback in regards to bringing the next generation US+ stablecoin to the XDC Network.

Impel Brings Fluent's Federated US+ Stablecoin To XDC Network

Impel brings Fluent's US+ Stablecoin to the XDC Network, a Layer 1 blockchain, for more than just cross-border payments. Impel and Fluent have entered into a strategic partnership that will deliver a variety of innovative software solutions to the XDC Network’s ecosystem by allowing traditional banks and financial intuitions to benefit from decentralized finance using DLT.

Fluent agrees to perform the following:

  • Mint US+ natively on the XDC Network
  • Support integration of Impel's ISO 20022 API with XRC-20 US+
  • Support Impel’s ISO 20022 API integration into Fluent’s federation of member bank's core banking systems
  • Contribute with co-selling to Fluent’s core banking partners
  • Support access to money market yield for US+ minted on the XDC Network ecosystem

Impel and Fluent have already initiated collaboration with many Layer 2 projects on the XDC Network for US+ integration, including:

  • XSwap Protocol
  • ElitWeb3
  • Fathom
  • Prime Numbers
  • Many more to integrate...

In addition, both Impel and Fluent teams have been meeting together with potential clients, adopters and users of Impel's solution offerings together with Fluent's US+ stablecoin, as it makes a perfect solution for endless applications in payments and trade finance, allowing for instant settlement.

At this time, we are not able to say specifically who, what, and when; we can say that our efforts are looking real promising to bring billions of dollars and significant transaction volume onto the XDC Network.

Impel is a fintech innovator with Layer 2 solution offerings built on top of the XDC Network’s blockchain DLT for forward-facing banks, FIs, and corporates. The robust solutions include an ISO 20022 financial messaging API with optional instant settlement capability using digital assets such as Fluent Finance’s US+ stablecoin, as well as providing a bridge to the R3 Corda private DLT platform from the XDC Network’s public blockchain, so entities can settle contracts and agreements in seconds using digital assets rather than using traditional banking systems that take much longer to process payments.

What this proposal and vote is for...

In return for Fluents agreed upon terms below, Impel has solicited XDC Network ecosystem development grant funds to pay for the following:

Note: Because we are just now involving the XDC Network community, this community vote is taking place during the existing implementation process that is currently underway. A few of the items have already been completed, but a few items remain to satisfy the initial Impel and Fluent Joint Venture Agreement.

We ask that our "best foot forward" approach be humbly accepted and appreciated by our fellow XDC Network community members.

The grant to be contributed by Impel to Fluent in the amount of $250,000 (USD), shall be paid in $XDC, in the following tranches:

Item already completed and payment obligations satisfied:

  • (COMPLETED and FUNDS PAID) $50,000 (USD) shall be due and payable upon execution of this agreement by Impel.

Item partially completed and currently in process:

  • (FUNDS RECEIVED, MINTING US+ BY END OF Q4 2022) $50,000 (USD) shall be due and payable by Impel upon US+ reaching stage of production environment and enterprise-ready status on the XDC Network, Impel will convert $50,000 (USD) on the XDC Network’s mainnet to US+ stablecoin as an investment to use as Impel solely chooses to support the XDC Network's ecosystem's growth.

Items currently in process and payment obligation outstanding:

  • (EXPECTED COMPLETION & FUNDS DUE END OF Q4 2022) $50,000 (USD) shall be due and payable by Impel upon US+ smart contracts have been fully implemented onto the XDC Network’s production mainnet environment and it is in production-ready position for enterprise usage.

  • (EXPECTED COMPLETION & FUNDS DUE END OF Q4 2022) $50,000 (USD) shall be due and payable by Impel upon completion of code audit from professional third-party consultant, and completion of any potential recommendations for improvement for US+ in the stage of development on the XDC Network ecosystem.

  • (EXPECTED COMPLETION & FUNDS DUE DURING Q1-Q2 2023) $50,000 (USD) shall be due and payable by Impel upon successful integration of pilot program for Impel’s ISO 20022 API into two of Fluent’s banking partners (a banking pair partnership for sending/receiving financial messages via Impel’s ISO 20022 API).


As they say, "better late than never"!

  1. I like the idea of a stable coin minted natively on XDC

  2. I applaud the idea of it being ISO20022 compliant

  3. I love the idea of integrating it with other companies building on XDC (XSwap, Fathom, Prime Number)

This initiative will strengthen, bring more awareness to, and mainstream adoption of the XDC Network!

Vote = Yes!

I love the idea of a stablecoin on the XDC Network. Especially because "Fluent has already entered into numerous partnerships with US-based banks to integrate US+ into their core-banking systems that will be connected to the XDC Network." (source: official press release announcement). I hope to see this US+ stablecoin be successful and attract more banks and other projects to actually utilize it. The growth for the network will be excellent and I wish both Impel and Fluent much success.

Having a native stable coin is critical to the XDC Network ecosystem growth. To know Fluent (US+) is backed by a federation of banks and will have fully auditable reserves is where the industry is headed; having US+ built on XDC is great news all around.

Fluent is onto something really strong here. By developing a consortium of banks who must meet minimum liquidity requirements (and other requirements), they are introducing a stablecoin the right way. This is a solid project that will elevate XDC Network's status amongst enterprise projects, especially financial institutions.

Nice work Troy and Impel!!
