Solana And Aptos Emerge As Preferred Blockchain Choice For Wyoming Stablecoin

The Wyoming Stable Token Commission has selected Solana and Aptos as its top two blockchain platforms for the upcoming launch of WYST, a U.S. state-backed stablecoin.

Solana, Aptos Are Blockchain Choice For Wyoming Stablecoin

According to an Aptos X post, the Wyoming Stable Token Commission has officially named Solana and Aptos as the preferred platforms for the Wyoming Stable Token (WYST). WYST is a fiat-backed stablecoin issued by a U.S. state government. The stablecoin will be deployed using LayerZero’s interoperability protocol and will initially launch in a multi-chain format.

Aptos and Solana both received the highest evaluation scores during the Commission’s blockchain selection process. The Blockchain Selection Working Group carried out this process and it was subsequently adopted by the Commission at their monthly meeting held on November 20, 2024. The working group evaluated several blockchain platforms referring to the following aspects, including speed, scalability, security, and cost-effectiveness.

However, both Solana (SOL) and Aptos (APT) have seen a decline in their prices recently, following the announcement. Solana’s price dropped to $137.57, a decrease of 5.05% over the past 24 hours. On the other hand, Aptos (APT) is priced at $4.25, down by 3.20% within the same period.

Multi-Chain Testing Phase and LayerZero Integration

The current testing phase represents a step toward the full launch of the WYST token. As of now, WYST test deployments exist across major testnets. These include Ethereum, Avalanche, Arbitrum, Solana, Optimism, Base, Polygon, and Aptos. Each of these blockchains is participating in the evaluation for technical readiness. Concurrently, Sei Network (SEI), was also considered as a potential blockchain candidate for WYST yesterday.

The WYST token will use LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard. LayerZero will act as the issuance partner to support interoperability across networks. According to the Commission, this setup ensures that WYST can function seamlessly across multiple blockchain ecosystems from day one.

LayerZero Labs has played a key role in developing the infrastructure needed for cross-chain deployment. Their integration will allow WYST to be transferred and used across supported blockchains without needing to wrap or bridge assets. This is intended to improve both user experience and network efficiency.

Aptos and Solana Positioned for Stablecoin Use Cases

Aptos announced that it now supports three native U.S. dollar stablecoins and handles more than $30 billion in monthly stablecoin volume. The platform offers sub-second finality and low transaction costs, estimated at $0.00055 per transaction. These features were likely factored into the Commission’s evaluation.

Solana also ranks highly among blockchain platforms due to its fast transaction speeds and high throughput. It is widely used for payments, NFTs, and DeFi applications. Both Aptos and Solana tied for the top score in the Commission’s review process.

Aptos added that the recent passage of the GENIUS Act, which introduces a national regulatory framework for stablecoins, could further support its push into public sector blockchain adoption.

No Token Sale Yet, Official Distribution Pending

The Wyoming Stable Token Commission has issued a clear notice that WYST tokens are not currently for sale. The value-less test tokens are only available on test networks. The Commission has urged the public to avoid unofficial channels or third-party platforms offering WYST tokens, as these are not legitimate.

According to the official press release and government sources, verified distribution details will be shared only through the Wyoming state government’s official communication channels. Users are advised to follow updates through the Commission’s official site and associated bulletins.

The full launch of WYST is expected to begin in July, with production deployment planned after successful completion of testing phases.
