About Tether

Tether (USDT) is a cryptocurrency with a value meant to mirror the value of the U.S. dollar. The idea was to create a stable cryptocurrency that can be used like digital dollars. Coins that serve this purpose of being a stable dollar substitute are called “stable coins.” Tether is the most popular stable coin and even acts as a dollar replacement on many popular exchanges! According to their site, Tether converts cash into digital currency, to anchor or “tether” the value of the coin to the price of national currencies like the US dollar, the Euro, and the Yen. Like other cryptos it uses blockchain.

Guides

  • How to Send Crypto Across Chains Without Losing It

    Moving crypto between chains means either routing it through an exchange that accepts deposits on one network and withdrawals on another, or using a bridge that locks the asset on the source chain and issues a wrapped version on the destination, and in both cases the mistake that costs people money is picking the wrong network on the send screen.

  • Where Stablecoin Yield Comes From, and What Can Go Wrong

    Stablecoin yield is paid by borrowers who want leverage, by issuers sharing the interest earned on their reserves, or by trading strategies, so the rate you are quoted is compensation for credit, contract, and platform risk rather than interest on a deposit.

  • How to Verify a Token Contract Address Before You Buy

    A token's contract address is its only real identity, so verifying one means getting the address from the project's own official channel, confirming the same address independently from a second source, and checking on a block explorer that the contract is what it claims to be before you trade against it.
