Algorand’s Digital Asset Minter Will Arrive In Q3 This Year: Report

Algorand’s digital asset minter Algomint will arrive in the third quarter of the year according to a report that we read more about in our latest altcoin news today.

In a press release, the team at Algorand announced that Algorand’s Digital asset minter Algomint is the new golden bridge to unlock the Defi Ecosystem and it is coming in Q3 this year. The platform will bring liquidity and will unlock further Defi potential in the network. The platform will allow users to engage in investing, trading, and sending as well as receiving, borrowing, staking, and lending with 46,000 transactions per second and a $0.001 fee per transaction.

Algomint will allow the users to trade BTC in the Algorand Defi marketplace by having them mint goBTC on the platform while still locking the original BTC on a 1:1 ratio in the secured 3^rd party custody vault and users will be able to burn the goBTC by the same ratio for other crypto-assets like USDT and ETH. With a Q3 product launch, the platform will offer goBTC and goETH as the first core assets to serve this ecosystem and also, Algomint will look to engage with the users via a governance token goMNT that will launch in Q3 this year.

In the following quarter, the team anticipates launch goUSD while introducing programmable liquidity by the Balancer Decentralized Exchange. The team is led by Meld gold founders Michael Cotton and AJ Milne. Gold leverages the protocol of Algorand to add efficiency and to bring accessibility to the gold supply chain. Its team sees the potential around the explosion of the Defi and applicable use cases with the protocol. The press release cited annual Defi growth with a 7500% rate despite the challenges around the transaction costs.

The release noted that only 1% of the Wall Street Capital inflow is applied in Defi this year alluding to the strong potential in the market. In the press release, Algorand COO Sean Ford stated that the company will provide a bridge for assets to enter into the Algorand ecosystem and said he is excited for the opportunities for users to engage on the platform. He said:

“Tools like Algomint serve as foundational components for the incredible expansion of DeFi on Algorand that we are currently seeing.”
