According to Odaily, the Wyoming Stablecoin Committee has announced an open call for qualified individuals to participate in its stablecoin initiative, known as 'Project WYST.' Interested applicants are required to submit their proposals by December 12, focusing on various roles such as token development, support, listing, on-chain analysis, reserve management, financial auditing, and ecosystem intelligence.
While specific details about WYST remain limited, discussions within the committee suggest that the stablecoin might be launched on either the Ethereum or Solana networks. The initiative is backed by the Wyoming Stable Token Act, passed in 2023, which authorizes the state to issue stablecoins. As per the committee's website, each WYST token will represent and be redeemable for one U.S. dollar held in state custody, with the token's sole purpose being the exchange for U.S. dollars.
