Three steps, in the order money moves.
Nothing is issued before the lock is final, and nothing is released before the return is.
-
Lock
Your USDT goes into the bridge contract on Ethereum and stays there for as long as the cUSDT exists.
Nothing is issued before the deposit is final.
-
Verify
The bridge confirms the deposit and sends a signed attestation to Canton.
An attestation that does not match the deposit is rejected.
-
Issue
The same amount of cUSDT is issued to your Canton party, as a CIP-56 token.
Issued equals locked, to the unit.
One USDT behind every cUSDT.
No fractions, no exceptions. The supply of cUSDT never exceeds the USDT held in the bridge contract.
- Held by contract
- The USDT sits in a contract on Ethereum, not on a desk. Nothing takes ownership of it while the cUSDT exists.
- Public
- The locked balance on Ethereum is public. Anyone can check it against the cUSDT in circulation.
- Redeemable
- Send the cUSDT back and the same amount of USDT is released to your Ethereum address, whenever you choose.
