This proposal requests the addition of USDT.rt to the existing USDT Alloy, enabling USDT to be deposited via Router Protocol. This connects Osmosis to 25+ chains that are served by Router Protocol.
Connecting directly to this liquidity represents access to 50% of circulating USDT with previously unconnected bridges.

Router Protocol has had multiple audits, however, as a relatively new bridge, this proposal adds a static rate limit of 5% to minimize risk to Alloyed USDT.

About Router Protocol
Router Protocol is an extensible multi-directional bridge connecting existing and emerging layer 1 and layer 2 blockchains to allow contract-level data flow across them.
Router Protocol is secured by Router Chain, a Proof of Stake blockchain leveraging Tendermint's BFT consensus engine. Validators running on the Router Chain can also monitor state changes on other chains. Applications on the Router Chain can write custom logic to trigger events in response to these external state changes. Additionally, applications on the Router Chain can leverage a trustless network of relayers to update states on external chains. Simply put, the Router architecture allows contracts on one chain to interact with contracts on other chains in a secure and decentralized manner.
