The USDT ERC20 → USDT Polygon bridge runs at 1 USDT ERC20 = 1 USDT Polygon. For 100 USDT ERC20 you receive 100 USDT Polygon; the amount is calculated by this rate, and you only pay the Ethereum fee for your own transfer. You can bridge from 200 USDT ERC20. That is about $199.93.

Ethereum is a layer-1 blockchain; Polygon PoS is an EVM sidechain connected to Ethereum. Fees on Polygon PoS are paid in POL: to move USDT further, keep a little POL on the same address.

How to bridge USDT ERC20 from Ethereum to Polygon PoS

  1. Enter the USDT ERC20 amount in the calculator (from 200 USDT ERC20) and open the exchange form.
  2. Paste your Polygon PoS address (0x…) to receive USDT Polygon.
  3. Send USDT ERC20 over the Ethereum network to the address from the order, exactly in the amount shown.
  4. After the Ethereum confirmations, USDT Polygon is sent to your Polygon PoS address. The status is shown on the order page.

Exchange USDT ERC20 to USDT Polygon

Before you bridge USDT ERC20 to Polygon PoS

  • The receiving address must be on the Polygon PoS network (0x…).
  • Addresses on Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Smart Chain and Polygon look the same (0x…): make sure the wallet shows Polygon PoS as the network.
  • Send USDT ERC20 over Ethereum only — a transfer over another network will not reach the order.
  • The amount sent must be at least 200 USDT ERC20.
  • To move USDT on Polygon PoS later, you will need a little POL on the same address.
  • Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
