FAQS

WHAT IS TETHER?



Launched in 2014, Tether is a blockchain-enabled platform designed to facilitate
the use of fiat currencies in a digital manner. Tether works to disrupt the
conventional financial system via a more modern approach to money. Tether has
made headway by giving customers the ability to transact with traditional
currencies across the blockchain, without the inherent volatility and complexity
typically associated with a digital currency. As the first blockchain-enabled
platform to facilitate the digital use of traditional currencies (a familiar,
stable accounting unit), Tether has democratised cross-border transactions
across the blockchain.



HOW DO TETHER TOKENS WORK?



Tether tokens exist as digital tokens built on several leading blockchains,
including Algorand, Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash’s Simple Ledger Protocol (SLP),
Ethereum, EOS, Liquid Network, Omni, Polygon, Tezos, Tron, Solana and Statemine.
These transport protocols consist of open source software that interface with
blockchains to allow for the issuance and redemption of Tether tokens. 

Every Tether token is 100% backed by our reserves, which includes traditional
currency and cash equivalents, and may include other assets and receivables from
loans made by Tether to third parties.

The Tether platform is fully reserved when the sum of all Tether tokens in
circulation is less than or equal to the value of our reserves. Through our
Transparency page, anyone can view both of these numbers on a daily basis.

Tether was originally created to use the Bitcoin network as its transport
protocol—specifically, the Omni Layer—to allow transactions of tokenised
traditional currency. Since this original version of Tether uses the Bitcoin
blockchain, it inherits the inherent stability and security of the longest
established blockchain network.

Tether on the Ethereum blockchain, as an ERC20 token, is a newer transport
layer, which now makes Tether tokens available in Ethereum smart contracts or
decentralized applications on Ethereum. As a standard ERC20 token it can also be
sent to any Ethereum address.

Since Tether tokens are currently available using different transport protocols,
when users send Tether tokens to other addresses, they need to carefully check
the destination address to confirm they are selecting the correct transport
protocol.

WHAT ARE TETHER TOKENS?



Tether tokens are assets that move across the blockchain just as easily as other
digital currencies but that are pegged to real-world currencies on a 1-to-1
basis.

Tether tokens are referred to as stablecoins because they offer price stability
as they are pegged to a fiat currency. This offers traders, merchants and funds
a low volatility solution when exiting positions in the market.

All Tether tokens are pegged at 1-to-1 with a matching fiat currency (e.g., 1
USD₮ = 1 USD) and are backed 100% by Tether’s reserves.

As a fully transparent company, we publish a daily record of the current total
assets and reserves.

WHAT CURRENCIES AND COMMODITIES DOES TETHER SUPPORT?



Tether supports US dollars (USD), euros, Mexican peso, offshore Chinese yuan,
and Gold, with the following Tether tokens, respectively: USD₮, EUR₮, MXN₮, CNH₮
and XAU₮.

WHO CAN USE TETHER TOKENS?



Tether tokens enable businesses – including exchanges, wallets, payment
processors, financial services and ATMs – to easily use fiat currencies on
blockchains. Some of the largest businesses in the digital currency ecosystem
have integrated Tether tokens.

TETHER ANNOUNCES COMPLETION OF SYSTEM ORGANIZATION CONTROL (SOC) 2 TYPE 1 AUDIT

1 April 2024 - Tether, the largest company in the cryptocurrency industry,
announced a significant security update today. The company underwent the System
Organization Control (SOC) 2 Audit Type 1, marking the initial phase of
achieving the highest level of security compliance an organization can
demonstrate. The SOC 2 Type 1 audit examination is a gold standard in security
compliance developed by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants
(AICPA), and underscores Tether's position as an industry leader committed to
delivering a secure experience.

SOC 2’s criteria are based on five key ‘trust service principles’: 

 * Security: Implemented measures such as firewalls, intrusion detection, and
   enhanced authentication protocols to safeguard customer data.

 * Availability: Focuses on maintaining a reliable and active network, while
   also addressing efficiency in problem resolution.

 * Processing Integrity: Focuses on whether systems achieve their purpose,
   delivering accurate data at the right price and at the right time.

 * Confidentiality: Restricts data access and disclosure to authorized
   individuals or organizations, with a strong emphasis on encrypting data
   during transmission.

 * Privacy: Ensures responsible collection, use, retention, and disclosure of
   personal information.

The SOC 2 Type 1 Report is based on Security, Availability, Processing Integrity
and Confidentiality, ensuring that Tether had robust IT control measures in
place to make sure their systems were safe, could be accessed when needed and
kept information private. It examines measures such as firewalls, intrusion
detection, and enhanced authentication for customers, along with network
reliability and problem resolution speed.

“This compliance measure assures our customers that their assets and data are
managed in an environment meeting the highest standards for data protection and
information security,” said Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO. “This independent
validation of security controls is vital for Tether, demonstrating our
commitment to being the world’s most trusted and compliant stablecoin."

Tether constantly updates its security strategy, focusing on leading with
innovative technology, transparency, and accountability to its stablecoin users.
Its commitment to completing the SOC 2 Type 1 audit reaffirms its dedication to
ensuring strong security measures for token holders. This proactive step aligns
with Tether's commitment to transparency, building trust within the user
community, and engaging constructively with regulatory authorities.

Tether has also committed to undergo the SOC 2 examinations annually to ensure
that its operations and security practices are consistently operated to the
highest standards. In 2024/25, the company aims to achieve the SOC 2 Type 2
Certificate, which evaluates the criteria of Security, Availability,
Confidentiality, Privacy and Processing Integrity and assesses the operating
effectiveness of Tether's internal controls over a period of 12 months.
