## What LRC-USD is

LRC-USD denotes the Loopring token priced in US dollars; the "-USD" is the quote currency of the pair, not part of the asset's name. **LRC is an ERC-20 token on Ethereum** and the native utility token of **Loopring**, an open protocol designed to build non-custodial, order-book-style decentralized exchanges (DEXs) using zkRollup technology. It launched via an ICO in August 2017, with the protocol deployed on Ethereum mainnet in December 2019. The founder is Daniel Wang.
