The NearPad platform offers services of a decentralized exchange, a platform for launching tokens, and an incubator. Rose is a crypto lending service.
The partnership is expected to provide users with new opportunities and promote the development of UST in the NEAR and Aurora ecosystems. NearPad and Rose will launch incentive initiatives to raise liquidity in UST.
Near Protocol Writes:
“The partnership between Terra, NearPad, and Rose will facilitate the growth of UST to new ecosystems on both NEAR and Aurora. Users will be able to bridge assets directly from Terra to Aurora via Allbridge or from any of the other supported chains. Both NearPad and Rose will offer incentivized opportunities for users to deposit UST liquidity into the protocols, which then can be accessed by the wider NEAR and Aurora communities.”

“Partnering with Terra to bring UST to the ecosystem to our community will be a big step towards growing the Near and Aurora ecosystem,”
Following the announcement, the Near price rose from $8.8 to around $14.2 in two days.
