The profile

Proof-of-stake blockchain whose foundation was established in Singapore in July 2017 by Justin Sun and whose mainnet launched in May 2018 with the Odyssey 2.0 release. It is the largest venue for Tether's dollar token: USDT supply on the network passed $90bn in July 2026, with roughly $4.2tn transferred year to date and about $23.8bn a day on average, across 392 million accounts and more than 12.7 million daily transactions. That concentration makes the chain a settlement layer for dollar payments in markets where banking access is thin, and it has begun attracting regulated issuers: Anchorage Digital added custody support, and Hamilton Lane's HLSCOPE private credit feeder became the first Securitize-issued asset on the network on 2 June 2026.
