CASE STUDY: How @Tether’s Legacy Mesh and Solana Unified $175B in Global USDT Stablecoins power onchain finance, but fragmented liquidity across chains creates real operational cost. Here’s how the Legacy Mesh integration solved that 👇

By Oct 2025, Solana had emerged as a leading execution layer, capturing $14B+ in stablecoin supply. But it still lacked native bridge to USDT, the world’s largest stablecoin with $175B+ in circulation.

USDT spans many chains, fragmenting liquidity and raising costs to move supply. Wrapped bridges filled the gap, but added custody risk, latency, and fees. The friction: - Market makers widen spreads to cover bridging delays - Traders face higher slippage - Payments settle slower with worse UX - Developers add extra conversion steps or avoid use cases

So what does Legacy Mesh do? Built with @Tether and Everdawn Labs using @LayerZero’s OFT standard, it re-domiciles native USDT across chains instead of minting synthetic assets.

Why does Solana matter as the destination? Solana’s fast finality, low fees, and high throughput make unified USDT work at scale.
