USDT0 Launched on Carbon DeFi, Enabling Frictionless Cross-Chain Transfers

USDT0, the omnichain version of the world’s most popular stablecoin, has been launched on Carbon DeFi, which is built on the sei Network. This integration brings together unmatched liquidity, lightning-fast execution, and smart trading strategies, all powered by trusted, widely-used stablecoins. This development opens up new opportunities for earning for all stablecoin DeFi users.

USDT0 stands out as a decentralized stablecoin that does not rely on wrapping or bridging. It is based on LayerZero’s Omnichain Fungible Token (OFT) standard and is 1:1 backed with USDT always. This allows for frictionless cross-chain transfer, eliminating the lag and risk associated with conventional bridging methods. For instance, a user sending USDT0 from Ethereum to Sei will not have to wait for bridge confirmations or depend on centralized validators, making cross-chain transactions smoother and more efficient. This speed and reliability are particularly critical for traders who need to transfer capital across chains in quickly shifting markets.

Carbon DeFi operates differently from a typical decentralized exchange (DEX). Instead of using static liquidity pools, Carbon draws liquidity from the entire chain, facilitating better and more efficient order execution. USDT0 can be traded against all ERC-20s, including other stablecoins, to build nimble, high-precision strategies. The types of orders supported include limit orders, range orders, subscriptions, and concentrated liquidity. These features allow traders to specify prices to enter or exit at, scale in and out incrementally through heavy support and resistance areas, schedule repeat cycles, and define bracket price points, tier fee schedules, and leverage auto-compounding.

Ask Aime: How does the launch of USDT0 impact the DeFi ecosystem?

Carbon’s market makers enjoy a unique combination of benefits compared to other DeFi platforms. These include zero trading fees, zero slippage execution, and resistance to MEV sandwich attacks. These benefits are particularly important for high-frequency and high-value traders, as a modest amount of slippage or MEV manipulation can cost a lot in fast markets. Carbon’s design shields them from these threats, allowing traders to take fast action, remain efficient, and manage risk effectively, particularly if the market is spinning into stable assets during a period of uncertainty.

Sei Network, a chain engineered specifically for trading and operated by Carbon, sits at the center of Carbon’s trading infrastructure. Sei’s low-latency execution layer enables fast, high-precision trading, which is crucial for timing-sensitive strategies. Combined with USDT0, Sei’s speed and Carbon’s flexibility keep users nimble in a way that is rare in DeFi right now. This enables actions like catching temporary depegs, rebalancing portfolios in real-time, or deploying recurring strategies without delay.
