Terra, a project focused on building a next-generation payment system, has today announced a strategic partnership with Fantom (fantom.foundation), a DAG-based smart contract platform for real-time cryptocurrency payments, to accelerate the mainstream adoption of its stablecoin.
Terra and its alliance of eCommerce partners will join forces with Fantom and the Fantom Enterprise Alliance to bring blockchain-based payment systems to both online platforms and offline retailers across various industries. Together, Terra and Fantom will address the challenges of cryptocurrency adoption among enterprises by releasing Terra’s SDR-pegged stablecoin on Fantom’s blockchain platform, Opera. Fantom has partnered with key players in a wide array of industries to build the Fantom Enterprise Alliance.
Most notably, Fantom forged a partnership with the Korea Food-Tech Association—an organization with over 90 food tech member companies valued at around $177 billion USD. Industry giants Oracle and SBCK (a subsidiary of SoftBank Korea) are also on board as major strategic partners. This partnership allows Terra to expand the use case of its stablecoin and enables Fantom to provide its partnering enterprises, developers and dApp consumers with a reliable method of payment.
