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.

On October 6, 2022
Impel and Fluent publically announced strategic partnership:

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.

• 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.
