what's usdt0?
USDT0 is an omnichain stablecoin protocol developed in partnership with Tether and LayerZero, providing seamless cross-chain liquidity for USDT across multiple blockchains like Ethereum, Solana, and Tron. It employs a lock-and-mint mechanism using the Omnichain Fungible Token standard to ensure 1:1 parity with canonical USDT without bridges or wrapping. The project extends to XAUt0 for tokenized gold, enabling DeFi applications and institutional access to stable assets in a unified, efficient ecosystem.
usdt0 introduced gas waiver, achieved $500M volume, and co-founder interview scheduled.
