TRON Announces Incentive Plan for Early adopters of USDT-TRON

TRON announced incentive plan to early adopters of stablecoin USDT-TRON

Earlier this month, TRON partnered with Tether to launch one of the oldest Stablecoin tokens USDT on its blockchain.

In 2018, there are many stablecoins introduced in the market including the Gemini Dollar (GUSD), MakerDao (DAI), Paxos Standard Token (PAX) and TrueUSD (TUSD). However, the USD Tether was the first stablecoin to leverage the stability of the US Dollar, and allow movements of funds quickly between different exchanges with the help of blockchain. It still commands the majority in stablecoin segment in crypto space.

Thus it is worth noting that there are three variants of USDT now available on three different networks via three different protocols,

1. USDT aka USDT-Omni - Tether stablecoin issued via the Omni Layer protocol on the Bitcoin network 
2. USDT-ERC20 - Tether issued via the ERC-20 protocol on the Ethereum network 
3. USDT-TRON -  Tether issued  via the TRC-20 protocol on the TRON network

Executive Opinion
