Most people using USDT on @0xPolygon never knew it wasn’t “really” native.
Now it is.
Polygon just upgraded to USDT0 → aka the omnichain, canonical version of @Tether_to stablecoin.
Here’s why that matters for users:
Before: USDT on Polygon was a bridged copy.
The PoS bridge minted a “child token” on Polygon that pointed back to Ethereum.
It worked… but it meant:
→ Higher fees
→ 3hr waits on some withdrawals
→ Liquidity split across bridges
Now: USDT is natively deployed on Polygon as USDT0. That means:
→ No wrappers
→ No middlemen
→No split liquidity
You don’t have to do a thing. It’s already live.
Why it's good for you as a user:
→ Cheaper transfers (Polygon already leads in stablecoin fees, now even lower)
→ Unified liquidity (more than $3B flows more efficiently)
→ Faster, easier bridging to any chain that supports USDT0
So will you notice? Not by clicking a button.
But by paying less, bridging faster, and having deeper liquidity wherever you use USDT. Win. win. win.
