 Ok. I studied the USDT contract again and it looks like yes, the contract owner has a possibility to blacklist individual Tron addresses as well. Nasty. https://tronscan.org/#/contract/TR7NHqjeKQxGTCi8q8ZY4pL8otSzgjLj6t/code

 Ok well damn. In that case I think DAI is the only major stable coin smart contract on ETH that cannot be frozen. Maybe Solana has one? Not sure. But if the chain itself is freezable than the smart contract doesn't matter afaik. If you find another lmk

 I mean, Tron chain itself is not freezable, it's in the smart contract logic. Same picture for USDC. But yes, I have no idea what to use instead of USDT-TRC20 yet, and Ethereum chain is too greedy in terms of fees IMO.
Solana tokens are all freezable by design as far as I see.

 I wasn't implying Tron was freezable I was speaking about blockchains in general. Yea, ETH too expensive to use all the time or for small amounts. You can use DAI on ETH L2s but those are all ruggable (but still permissionless. i think?). I'm just barely starting to look into Solana, but I think you are right.

You can also weigh the risks and just continue using USDT on Tron for now. Not ideal, but I think freezes are still pretty rare so very unlikely to happen to you (but they are getting relatively more frequent). I wouldn't keep any major amounts on it though of course.
