Place/Date: British Virgin Islands - April 6th, 2021 at 10:00 am UTC · 4 min read Tether Operations Limited (“Tether”), the company operating the blockchain-enabled platform that powers the largest stablecoin by market capitalization, will launch Tether tokens (USDT) on Polkadot, a scalable multichain network and the first protocol that provides an environment for cross-chain composability of multiple applications and protocols. Before deploying on Polkadot, USDT will deploy on Polkadot’s cousin, the canary network Kusama. Polkadot, one of the most anticipated protocols to launch since Ethereum, aims to solve the biggest challenges that blockchain-based platforms face today: governance, interoperability and scalability. Kusama launched about a year before the Polkadot mainnet, to serve as a value-bearing testbed for technologies in the Polkadot ecosystem.
