USDT0 & Aori are turbocharging stablecoin transfers

Stablecoins should move as easily as cash in the “real world.” But for far too many people, moving stables between chains still feels like a maze of bridges, frontends, fees and slippage.

USDT0 was built to change that. It’s the omnichain deployment of Tether’s USDT, designed to unify liquidity across a multitude of popular chains, including Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum and Plasma.

With Aori under the hood, USDT0 users can smoothly transfer their USDT from chain to chain without bridging or worrying about gas. More than $100M in USDT0 inflows have already gone to Plasma since the chain launched in September.

Following our recent partnership announcement, USDT0 users can now move USDT faster than ever before. Here’s the story of how these two projects are making cross-chain transfers feel seamless.

Same USDT. Many Chains.

To make stablecoin transfers as seamless as possible, Aori has partnered with Plasma, a high-speed settlement layer purpose-built for instant, low-latency execution. Their mission is to bring the largest and most dynamic stablecoin in the world to the leading blockchain ecosystems.

Powered by LayerZero’s OFT standard, USDT0 connects USDT balances across chains under a single, unified liquidity layer. In short, with USDT0 there’s no token wrapping, no synthetic versions, and no confusion about which USDT you hold.

“USDT0 is a complete omnichain liquidity standard for USDT. It’s about creating the foundation for a universal dollar that works everywhere.”

Fast, Frictionless Transfers.

Aori was the logical partner USDT0 turned to as they looked to power fast transfers on their frontend. Both teams shared the same vision: remove friction from cross-chain interactions and make crypto easier to use.

"We chose Aori because we’re both trying to solve the same problem: removing friction from cross-chain movement. Fragmented liquidity is traditionally one of crypto’s biggest impediments and UX challenges, and they understood that right away.”
— Lorenzo R., Co-founder of USDT0

Beyond our shared vision, Aori brings technical advantages that amplify what USDT0 already does best: secure, consistent, and fee-less cross-chain transfers. The overlaps are more than philosophical. Together, we have created an omnichain stablecoin experience that feels both smooth and intuitive.

“The Aori team made smart technical choices, they move fast, and they genuinely care about making crypto easier to use. Those are the kinds of partners we want.”
— Lorenzo R., Co-founder of USDT0

USDT0 has recently undergone a flurry of partnerships and integrations, but settlement speed has become an increasing priority for USDT0 as the demands of onchain finance evolve. Increasingly, transaction speed is a competitive advantage in crypto and users are less tolerant of wait times than ever before.

“Speed matters. Whether someone is chasing a trading opportunity or needs to repay a loan quickly, Aori helps make those transfers instant and reliable.”
— Lorenzo R., Co-founder of USDT0

Scaling a Universal Dollar Together

Aori’s SDK helps make omnichain stablecoin transfers more seamless and straightforward.

“USDT0’s integration with Aori was remarkably smooth. We had a prototype up within a day thanks to clear documentation and reliable SDK architecture. And whenever white a minor issue,, the Aori team was immediately available to troubleshoot. That kind of support makes a huge difference.”
— Lorenzo R., Co-founder of USDT0

With Aori integrated, USDT0 now offers an “express lane” for users needing instant movement across chains. Some networks require additional confirmations for security, which can slow transfers, but Aori’s routing layer optimizes that flow without sacrificing reliability.

“Aori helps us solve real scaling challenges. It gives users an express lane when they need it, while we maintain the same standards of reliability everywhere else.”
— Lorenzo R., Co-founder of USDT0

Together, the two projects are shaping a more connected future for stablecoins, where moving money between chains feels as seamless as sending it within one.

What’s Next?

USDT0 is already planning its next steps. Currently, their focus is on adding new chains to increase liquidity coverage and extending the omnichain model to other Tether assets, starting with XAUt0, Tether Gold’s omnichain deployment.

“The Aori integration is a big step forward. It proves that omnichain liquidity and fast cross-chain execution can work hand in hand. As both projects evolve, we’ll keep finding ways to make stablecoin transfers even better for users everywhere.”
