USDT0 continues its mission to expand across the most connected ecosystems in crypto. Today, we're excited to announce that Flare Network is integrating native USDT0 liquidity, making it easier than ever for users to access the world’s leading stablecoin through an omnichain, capital-efficient standard.

This integration brings USDT0 to one of the most interoperability-focused Layer 1 networks in web3. With native access to USDT0, Flare users and developers can now interact with stablecoin liquidity that moves natively between chains without relying on wrapped tokens or third-party bridges.

Flare is a smart contract platform with native data protocols. It combines EVM compatibility with enshrined oracles  including the Flare Data Connector  and Flare Time Series Oracle, allowing decentralized applications to access accurate, real-time data from other chains and external sources.

Flare combines these enshrined data protocols with Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs) to enable sophisticated and secure cross-chain execution. Applications built on Flare can hold funds and make transactions on any connected chain, harnessing network effects. With this, Flare is becoming an infrastructure layer for interoperable DeFi systems, encompassing non-smart contract assets such as XRP, real-world asset integrations, and new cross-chain use cases. The addition of USDT0 helps complete this picture.

With the LayerZero V2 integration last year, Flare has already benefited from immediate, secure connectivity to thousands of applications and services built on leading blockchains. However, stablecoin liquidity has historically remained fragmented. USDT0 solves this by providing a unified, omnichain deployment of USDT, fully backed 1:1 by USDT on Ethereum and accessible natively on Flare through LayerZero’s OFT (Omnichain Fungible Token) standard.

With this integration, Flare developers and users benefit from:

• Omnichain Liquidity: USDT0 moves natively between chains. Instead of bridging, USDT0 is burned on the source chain and minted on the destination. Capital becomes instantly accessible wherever it's needed.

• Composable Infrastructure: dApps on Flare can integrate USDT0 like any standard ERC-20, with the added benefit of omnichain functionality. No need to support different bridged versions on each chain.

• Trust and Transparency: Every USDT0 token is fully backed by USDT held in a non-custodial contract on Ethereum. Redemptions are native, with no reliance on synthetic pegs or centralized custodians.

Flare has long been focused on delivering simple, secure, and high-performance access to diverse data, assets, and soon fast computation, empowering developers to build without compromise — all at an affordable price. With this integration, Flare adds the missing piece: deep, omnichain liquidity that can seamlessly flow wherever their users are most active.

In other words, USDT0 brings stablecoin infrastructure into alignment with Flare’s vision for building a full-featured DeFi for high-value assets lacking native smart contracts: XRP, BTC, DOGE. . Together, we’re not just enabling new financial use cases and laying the groundwork for a universal liquidity source that meets the needs of modern finance.
