# Arkadiko 2.0 Documentation

Welcome to the documentation of Arkadiko 2.0.

Arkadiko is a decentralized, non-custodial liquidity protocol where users can collateralize their assets and mint a stablecoin called USDA.&#x20;

Launched in October 2021, Arkadiko was the first Decentralized Finance protocol on Stacks, bringing native stablecoin liquidity to the on-chain ecosystem.&#x20;

Arkadiko 2.0 is the next-generation iteration of Arkadiko, introducing several improvements to the core protocol.&#x20;
