What to know about USD Coin and Tether

USD Coin (USDC)

USD Coin (USDC) is a dollar stablecoin issued by Circle since 2018. Each token is backed by reserves held in cash and short-term US Treasuries, and the reserve composition is regularly reported by the issuer.

Sending and receiving USDC

Send USDC only on the network the recipient supports: an Ethereum address and a Polygon address may look identical but the funds end up on different chains. Fees are paid in the native coin of the network (ETH, SOL, POL…).

Tether (USDT)

Tether (USDT) is the largest stablecoin: a token designed to stay at one US dollar. It was launched in 2014 by Tether Limited, which issues USDT against reserves that consist mostly of cash equivalents and short-term US Treasury bills.

Where to store Tether

USDT can be held in any wallet that supports the chosen network. Check that the wallet shows the official USDT contract, because fake tokens with the same name exist.

Optimism network

Optimism is an Ethereum layer-2 network. Addresses use the Ethereum format and fees are paid in ETH at a fraction of mainnet cost.

TRON (TRC20) network

TRC20 is the token standard on the TRON network. Transfers are fast, and the fee is paid in TRX or with staked energy — it is usually lower than on Ethereum, which makes TRC20 the most popular network for USDT.

How to exchange USD Coin to Tether

Enter the USDC Optimism amount in the calculator (minimum 200 USDC Optimism) and click “Go to exchange”.
Enter your USDT wallet address on the TRON (TRC20) network and your contact details.
Send exactly the specified amount of USDC Optimism on the Optimism network to the details shown in the order.
Once the transfer is confirmed, Tether is sent to your address. You can track the order on its status page.

Exchange USDC Optimism to USDT TRC20

What to check before exchanging USDC Optimism to USDT TRC20

The recipient address must be on the TRON (TRC20) network: funds sent on another network may be lost.
The amount sent must be at least 200 USDC Optimism.
Copy the whole address and check the first and last characters after pasting.
To move USDT on TRON later, you will need a little TRX on the same address.
Funds go through an AML check; high-risk transfers may be held until the check is complete.
