USDT0 seeks to be a universal standard with 1: 1 parity with an original USDT.
Unichain, Rootstock, Ton, Tron, Hyperevm, Optimism and Berachain are some of the networks.
USDT version 0 (USDT0) is integrated with the zeal network, a second layer of Ethereum. This was announced by the company after the universalized edition of USDT and Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether. Zeal finishes composing a list of 14 networks where this digital asset already works, either as USDT0 of Native token OA through the “Legacy Mesh” between USDT original and its latest layer of layer 0.
Zeal, a layer 2 of Ethereum designed for rapid and low -cost transactions, I already used Ethereum’s original USDT at the time of integration announcement. Announced by USDT0 In its X account, this development implies that USDT deployments in heat are now connected to USDT0 liquidity.
As Cryptonotics reported, USDT0 was introduced as an intercadena solution (Cross-Chain) that uses a mechanism Lock-And-Mint (“Block and Acuña”) To ensure That each token maintain a 1: 1 parity with USDT in Ethereum While enabling its circulation in other networks without bridges.
This characteristic solves liquidity fragmentation problems and optimizes efficiency in transfers, a crucial aspect for decentralized finance applications (DEFI). Integration with zeal, announced on July 21, 2025, is part of a broader strategy to position USDT0 as a universal standard for interoperable stablecoins.
The network Legacy Meshwhich facilitates these connections, already operates in Ethereum, Tron, Ton and zeal. This expansion not only increases liquidity Cross-Chainbut also simplifies the management of tokens for users and protocols, especially when transferring USDT of these to other networks.
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, He stood out in x That this integration is a step towards programmable dollars without borders.
We are excited to see an integrated zeal in @USDT0_to Classic Mesh to connect USDT implementation existing to the wider tether ecosystem! With more than 600 million USDT moved between chains every week, USDT0 is becoming a powerful layer for interoperability and expansion between chains.
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether.
Beyond heat, the presence of USDT0 extends to Unichain, Sei, Rootstock, Ton, Tron, Hyperevm, Optimism, Berachain, Ink, Corn, Flare, Ethereum and Arbitrum. Unichain, for example, is positioned as a decentralized and rapid layer 2 anchored to the UNISWAP ecosystem, characterized by its high volume defi in several cryptocurrency chains.
SEI, known for its speed and scalability approach, complements the efficiency objectives of USDT0, while Rootstock, a Bitcoin Sidechain, offers a bridge between Bitcoin and Ethereum ecosystems, even more diversifying the USDT0 reach.
Ton and Tron, both cryptocurrency networks with high demand, have been important centers for Stablecoins transactions, specifically USDT, for a long time. This integration with USDT0 amplifies its capacity for operations Cross-Chain. Hyperevm, a chain compatible with EVM, and Optimism, a layer 2 of Ethereum, improve the scalability of USDT0 and reduce transaction costs.
