3.3 How to Send USDT on Polygon

Polygon is supported by most modern cryptocurrency wallets. MetaMask is the most popular choice and supports Polygon natively. Trust Wallet, Coinbase Wallet, and Rabby also support the Polygon network.

To use Polygon in MetaMask, you may need to add the Polygon network manually. The network details are: Network Name is Polygon Mainnet, RPC URL is https://polygon-rpc.com, Chain ID is 137, Currency Symbol is MATIC, and Block Explorer is https://polygonscan.com.

Make sure your wallet is connected to the Polygon network before initiating any transfers.

Polygon uses POL (formerly MATIC) as its native token for gas fees. The gas fees on Polygon are extremely low, typically costing less than 0.01 USD per transaction. This makes Polygon the most economical network for USDT transfers on CryptoBazaar.

You need a small amount of POL in your wallet to pay for gas. Even 0.1 POL is usually sufficient for multiple transactions. You can acquire POL from exchanges or use bridge services to transfer MATIC from Ethereum to Polygon.

To send USDT on Polygon, ensure your wallet is connected to the Polygon Mainnet. Select USDT from your token list and enter the recipient's Polygon wallet address. Polygon addresses look identical to Ethereum addresses, starting with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters.

Enter the amount and review the gas fee estimate. Confirm the transaction and wait for it to be processed. Polygon transactions typically confirm within a few seconds.

After sending, you can track the transaction on Polygonscan using the transaction hash. The recipient should see the USDT in their wallet almost immediately after confirmation.
