Conversation
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. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Pull request overview
Adds a nine-question USDT0 FAQ with native disclosure widgets, styling, navigation, and structured data.
Changes:
- Adds FAQ content and
FAQPageJSON-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.

agreed. in a question that is asking something quite important, i don't think truncation is the right move for the answer. at the very least, we should include some link(s) to stellar expert for the issuer and/or asset

i like the way the FAQs work here! thanks for getting this out there!
i'd like to see some of the comments from copilot addressed before we merge. also, worth considering if we want same-domain URLs to open in a new tab or not (i could see both sides on that one).

since this is a link on the same domain, we don't necessarily need the whole https://developers... part. we could also open it in the same tab, unless we have a reason to use a new tab for same-domain links in the FAQs?

the answer to this question quotes (statically) 0.03%, where our /docs/tokens/usdt0-layerzero.mdx tells builders to query quote_send to get the current fee, rather than relying on a documented number.
calling it out here so we are aware that we're introducing a documented number here in this landing page.

Also, @mmazco Not a blocker for this PR, just worth starting the conversation: it might be time to port this page into the Docusaurus app proper, at This PR ran into the reason. You wanted the No knock on how it shipped. A static file was the right call for a launch date, and the tradeoff only shifts once a page is live and getting edited weekly. Worth deciding before any code gets written: do we want this page to adopt the docs styles/UI/etc.? Under |

<details>rather than a scripted accordion, so:Structured data
Adds a
FAQPageblock alongside the existingTechArticle. 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:
op_no_truston a missing trustlinefeeBps) and use-cases pageauth_revocable,auth_clawback_enabled,auth_requiredunsetThe 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.
