Tether Integrates With Plasma Sidechain to Reduce Load on Ethereum

Bitfinex’s Tether (USDT) stablecoin is now available on the OMG Network, a plasma-based Ethereum sidechain launched on June 1 by the project formerly known as OmiseGo.

The integration, also announced on June 1, marks the first time that Tether integrated an Ethereum sidechain to boost its performance. Tether is by far the largest “gas guzzler” on the Ethereum network at 8,900 ETH (about $1.84 million) in fees spent last month, according to ETH Gas Station. This is more than the next five protocols combined, one of which is reportedly a Ponzi scheme.

By delegating some of that volume to the OMG Network, Tether is hoping to ease the burden on Ethereum. Bitfinex’s CTO, Paolo Ardoino, said that “by migrating USDT value transfers to the OMG Network we save costs, drive performance improvements and relieve pressure on the root chain network.”

The OMG-based Tether network will be accessible through Bitfinex and “allow traders to react faster to trading opportunities,” Ardoino said, though given the network’s recent launch, there are no other venues that accept it yet. Stephen McNamara, the COO of OmiseGo, told Cointelegraph that discussions to integrate OMG with other exchanges and wallet providers are ongoing.

Tether is indeed very wise for this matter where he is able to compete with other stable coins.
I am sure that the plasma type for sidechain is very good to be developed by Tether to minimize money laundering on behalf of the transaction GAS.

TRC20, ERC20, OMNI These three networks have been done by Tether and now Tether has a Sidechain from OMG for transactional plasma, cool!

Plasma Sidechain is indeed good for Tether because Tether also now uses the Blockchain from Ethereum which is ERC20.
But I don't really understand how this SideChain Plasma works because I think it's still complex when combined with Tether.

Certainly someday this Sidechain Plasma system will be able to run together for Tether in the future because this has a positive effect on Tether.

USDT is able to continue to compete with other systems of various crytpocurrency.
This is an opportunity from Tether to continue to work with various platforms.

Plasma was created by Ethereum but with the integrity that has Sidechain it needs something development and checking that is multi-functional.
