Tether and LayerZero Align for the Long Term
--------------------------------------------

Today, Tether has announced a strategic investment in LayerZero Labs, the omnichain interoperability protocol. For much of the industry, this is breaking news. For Everdawn Labs, it's a confirmation of what we've known since we first began working with these two teams: Stablecoin infrastructure at scale would be built on this foundation.

USDT0: Where It All Comes Together
----------------------------------

Everdawn Labs built USDT0 as the omnichain extension of USDT, the world's most widely used stablecoin, on top of LayerZero's OFT standard. It is not a wrapped token or a synthetic asset. It is USDT, extended seamlessly across blockchains, with every unit backed 1:1 by USDT locked on Ethereum and verified through onchain proof-of-reserves.

In under twelve months, USDT0 has scaled to 20 chains with over $4 billion in circulating supply and more than $70 billion in cross-chain value transfer — real-world proof of global-scale interoperability. Those numbers exist because Tether, LayerZero, and Everdawn Labs have been aligned from the start. 

What This Investment Means
--------------------------

When two foundational layers of onchain finance commit to each other at the equity level, it sends a clear signal. The infrastructure underneath USDT0 is not only technically sound, but now carries the weight of long-term strategic alignment behind it.

For every protocol integrating USDT0, every chain where it is deployed, and every builder relying on unified stablecoin liquidity: this investment means the foundation you're building on is getting stronger, not just broader.

Built with Conviction, from Day One
-----------------------------------

USDT0 has always been more than a product launch. It is the clearest proof that Everdawn Labs, Tether, and LayerZero share a vision for the future of stablecoin infrastructure. One where liquidity is unified, cross-chain movement is seamless, and the world's most trusted stablecoin is available everywhere it's needed.

**That vision isn't new. But today, it's backed by more than code. It's backed by capital.**
