About Agora
Agora operates as a digital dollar and an asset platform for businesses, fintechs, and trading firms. It powers digital dollar infrastructure through its institutional-grade stablecoin, AUSD, which remains fully collateralized by cash, U.S. Treasuries, repos, and stablecoins. It offers white-label stablecoin issuance, instant liquidity via USDC/USDT swaps, cross-chain bridging, and smart-contract infrastructure for seamless global payments. The platform enables businesses to mint and manage digital dollars, integrating with DeFi and traditional finance ecosystems. Agora emphasizes transparency with its proof-of-reserves integration to validate AUSD backing.

The company underscores its mission to migrate financial services onto blockchain for faster, cost-effective capital movement empowered by digital dollars.
