Understanding USDT (Tether) and Its Blockchain Variations
USDT (Tether) is a stablecoin pegged 1:1 to the US dollar, issued by Tether Limited. It exists across three major blockchain networks:
- Omni-USDT: Operates on the Bitcoin network via Omni Layer protocol
- ERC20-USDT: Ethereum-based implementation following ERC20 standards
- TRC20-USDT: Runs on the TRON network using TRC20 protocol
Each variant requires its respective blockchain explorer for transaction tracking - Ethereum Explorer for ERC20-USDT, TRON Explorer for TRC20-USDT, and Bitcoin Explorer for Omni-USDT.
