How to get zUSD on Kadena

Zelcore's Fusion Stable Bridge is a hybrid centralized/decentralized bridge between the ETH and KDA networks. We plan to add more networks and more variants of stablecoins.

Info

Currently the Fusion Bridge takes USDC-ETH (Ethereum gas fees apply) and converts it to zUSD, the first stable coin on Kadena. It also bridges back from zUSD -> USDC-ETH

Unfortunately, ETH gas fees are typically more expensive than other networks, and sometimes can be 100's of dollars. You can check the current ETH gas fees at Etherescan Gas Tracker .

Using zUSD on eckoDEX and bridging out of zUSD on the KDA side is free thanks to Kadena's gas stations. The ETH gas needed to bridge out of Kadena will be taken out of the zUSD balance and Fusion Bridge will pay the ETH gas fee in $ETH.
