Self and Google Cloud Launch USAT Mainnet Faucet on Celo
The USAT Mainnet Faucet is now live, built by Self and Google Cloud, allowing verified humans to claim USA₮ — a regulated US dollar stablecoin issued by Anchorage and supported by Tether — on the Celo network. Builders must first verify their identity through Self's proof-of-humanity system before claiming free USA₮ from the faucet.
- USDT0 serves as the interoperability layer, carrying USA₮ to the networks where builders are deploying.
- The initiative positions USA₮ as a regulated on-chain dollar designed for builders, combining Anchorage's federally chartered bank custody with Tether's token support.
- The faucet went live on mainnet, distributing USA₮ to verified builders who prove their identity through Self's protocol.
