Utilizing bridged USDT naturally introduces additional layers of dependency into your transactions. Specifically, it requires you to place your confidence in a token wrapper, a network bridge, and a multisig setup. Opting for native USDT, however, completely strips away all three of these requirements. You retain the exact same dollar value, but with far fewer moving parts that could potentially fail. Throughout this entire evolution, Kava has consistently maintained its position on the correct side of the curve.
