USDT

USDT (Tether) is a US-dollar-pegged stablecoin issued by Tether across multiple blockchains and backed by reserves.

USDT is the most widely circulated stablecoin, aiming to hold a one-to-one peg to the US dollar. It exists as a token on several networks — notably as an ERC-20 on Ethereum and a TRC-20 on TRON, where low fees make it a dominant payment rail. Because the same asset lives on multiple chains, applications must track the right contract per network. Our payments, payout and analytics primitives handle USDT invoices, disbursements and balances on both Ethereum and TRON.
