Adds an FAQ section to /launch/usdt0, plus FAQPage structured data.

The questions

Nine, covering what comes up before and during an integration:

  • Is USDT0 the same as USDT?
  • Which USDT0 on Stellar is the real one?
  • Why did my USDT0 payment fail with op_no_trust?
  • How long does a transfer to Stellar take?
  • Why is my transfer slower than I expected?
  • What does it cost to bring USDT0 to Stellar?
  • What is the difference between the Open Mesh and the Legacy Mesh?
  • Why did I receive slightly less than I sent?
  • Who can freeze or clawback USDT0 on Stellar?

Each answer opens with the answer, then elaborates, and stands alone without relying on the rest of the page.

Built on <details>

Collapsed by default, which keeps the section compact. Native <details> rather than a scripted accordion, so:

  • every answer stays in the DOM while collapsed and is read by crawlers and AI assistants
  • the section works with JavaScript disabled
  • keyboard and screen-reader behaviour comes for free

Structured data

Adds a FAQPage block alongside the existing TechArticle. The schema is generated from the FAQ markup at build time, not written out a second time, so the structured data cannot drift from what the page displays. Both blocks validate as JSON.

Sourcing

Every factual claim traces to a published source:

claim source
op_no_trust on a missing trustline Horizon result codes, and the term appears throughout these docs
100 stroops minimum per operation Stellar fees documentation
seven decimals, six shared decimals, dust refunded Stellar assets docs, LayerZero OFT reference
0.03% protocol fee, zero on most routes USDT0 developer guide (feeBps) and use-cases page
Legacy Mesh members and the Arbitrum hub USDT0 Legacy Mesh documentation
auth_revocable, auth_clawback_enabled, auth_required unset Horizon, confirmed against the live asset

The clawback answer names the issuer as the authority and deliberately says nothing about how that issuer is controlled, since that is not something the page can evidence.

Transfer times are measured medians from the transfer atlas published by Everdawn Labs, who operate USDT0. They are given with their scope attached — about a minute from Polygon, roughly 18–21 minutes from the higher-volume routes, longer on a few — rather than as a single headline figure, because the figure varies by an order of magnitude across routes.

All outbound links in the section return 200.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Nine questions covering what people ask before and during an
integration: whether USDT0 is the same asset as USDT, how to tell the
real USDT0 from an impostor sharing the code, why a payment fails with
op_no_trust, how long a transfer takes and why it may run slow, what it
costs, how the Open Mesh and Legacy Mesh differ, why a received amount
can be fractionally short, and who can freeze or clawback a balance.

Built on native <details> elements. Every answer stays in the DOM while
collapsed, so search engines and AI assistants read the whole section
without running scripts, and the page works with JavaScript disabled.

Also adds FAQPage structured data. The schema is generated from the FAQ
markup at build time rather than written out separately, so the two
cannot drift apart.

This roughly doubles the page's body copy, from about 950 words to
1,500. The page already draws organic search traffic and referrals from
AI assistants; these are the queries that traffic arrives on.

Pull request overview

Adds a nine-question USDT0 FAQ with native disclosure widgets, styling, navigation, and structured data.

Changes:

  • Adds FAQ content and FAQPage JSON-LD.
  • Adds FAQ navigation and styling.
  • Clarifies issuer clawback authority.

Recommendation: NEEDS-CHANGES — Fix the scroll spy, generate JSON-LD from one source, provide full identifiers, and correct the LayerZero link.

  • This URL opens LayerZero's network analytics page, not the message lookup described by the sentence. Link to the LayerZero Scan search entry point used by the canonical USDT0 documentation (docs/tokens/usdt0-layerzero.mdx:54) so readers can actually search by transaction hash.

The practical difference is deposits: a venue that supports USDT will not necessarily accept USDT0 on Stellar. Check your destination lists USDT0 on Stellar specifically before you send."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Which USDT0 on Stellar is the real one?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The one issued by GATISXX6\u2026JHN6Q. Asset codes on Stellar are not unique \u2014 anyone can issue an asset called USDT0 \u2014 so identity is the code and the issuer together. Pin the issuer, and confirm the contract you derive from it matches CBSJZEIO5\u2026M4R26YF."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why did my USDT0 payment fail with op_no_trust?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The destination account has no USDT0 trustline, and one must exist before the first payment can land. A wallet often creates it when a user swaps into USDT0 in-app, but a transfer arriving from an exchange or another wallet has no such fallback. If you custody for users, create it during onboarding \u2014 sponsored reserves can cover the reserve."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"How long does a transfer to Stellar take?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"It depends on the chain you send from, not on Stellar. Stellar finalises in 5\u20137 seconds; the wait is the source chain confirming and LayerZero verifying the message. From Polygon it is about a minute. From Ethereum, Arbitrum, Tron and Solana \u2014 the routes carrying most volume \u2014 expect roughly 18\u201321 minutes. A few low-traffic routes take hours. The transfer UI quotes an estimate for your route before you send."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why is my transfer slower than I expected?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Usually because the figure you saw was a network-wide best case rather than your route. Nothing on the Stellar side is the bottleneck. If a transfer runs well past the estimate you were quoted, look up the message on LayerZero Scan, which indexes Stellar as a destination, to see which step it is sitting at. USDT0 lists support contacts for transfers that stall."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What does it cost to bring USDT0 to Stellar?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Three separate things. USDT0 charges no protocol fee on most routes, and 0.03% where one applies. You pay the source network's gas plus the LayerZero message, quoted per route before you send \u2014 this is the part that varies. And on Stellar, ordinary transactions cost a minimum of 100 stroops per operation, which is unrelated to bridging."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"What is the difference between the Open Mesh and the Legacy Mesh?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"On the Open Mesh each chain runs its own OFT contract, and moving between them burns on one side and mints on the other. The Legacy Mesh connects chains where Tether had already deployed native USDT \u2014 Ethereum, Tron, TON, Arbitrum, Solana and Celo \u2014 through a shared non-custodial hub on Arbitrum, so those chains keep their existing USDT contracts rather than migrating."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Why did I receive slightly less than I sent?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"Rounding, in the last decimal places only. USDT0 on Stellar carries seven decimals; cross-chain transfers normalise to the OFT's six shared decimals. Send 1.2345678 and 1.234567 moves \u2014 the remaining 0.0000008 is floored off as dust and refunded to you before the debit."}},{"@type":"Question","name":"Who can freeze or clawback USDT0 on Stellar?","acceptedAnswer":{"@type":"Answer","text":"The issuer. The asset sets auth_revocable and auth_clawback_enabled, so the issuer can revoke a trustline or clawback a balance. auth_required is not set, so anyone can hold it without approval."}}]}</script>
