Looking at the decentralized social network in 2025, it’s a bit like a global marketplace without any days off. Every piece of content goes live, and the creators are setting up their stalls once again. In this marketplace, the logic of tipping is quietly changing.

In the past, creators mostly received native token tips. Honestly, that experience wasn’t very good. Token prices fluctuated wildly; the bounty you receive today might be worth half as much tomorrow. It’s like trying to catch water in a storm—you never know how much will be left the next day.

Now, the situation is different. Since the emergence of decentralized over-collateralized stablecoins like USDD, creators have been given a reliable value anchor. Tips are no longer just "ECG-like fluctuations," but a relatively stable measure of value. This is extremely meaningful for content creators who rely on tips for their livelihood.

Why is this change so important? The core pain point of Web3 social is quite straightforward—creator economy is fundamentally about value exchange. But if the medium of exchange’s value is constantly fluctuating, it’s very hard to focus on long-term creation. Creators can’t plan based on stable income, and the confidence of the entire ecosystem diminishes.

The rise of USDD is no coincidence. It’s driven by both technological logic and market psychology.

From a technical perspective, USDD is completely different from those stablecoins heavily reliant on centralized backing. What do content creators fear most when publishing on censorship-resistant platforms? They fear their tips being suddenly frozen. If one day USDD tips are frozen due to instructions from a centralized issuer, the original purpose of Web3 is lost. But USDD, based on over-collateralization mechanisms on networks like TRON, precisely avoids this risk. Without a centralized "freeze button," tips truly belong to the creator.

This seemingly small difference actually determines the trust foundation of the entire social tipping ecosystem. Stable value carrying capacity and permissionless attributes—these two elements combined form a more robust underlying layer for the creator economy.
