Liquid Crowdloan DOT (LCDOT)

Liquid Crowdloan DOT (LCDOT) is a derivative that enables Crowdloan participants to stay liquid while contributing to the Acala Crowdloan. With LCDOT, contributors can utilize an unlocked token, representing their DOT contribution to the Acala Crowdloan, in Acala’s DeFi protocols. Now, instead of losing access to the underlying DOT liquidity for 2 years, LCDOT holders will be able to collateralize for self-serviced loan in aUSD stablecoin, or trade trustlessly in Acala’s AMM-style DEX.
