What is USDT

How USDT differs from a transfer network and what to check before paying.

Updated:

USDT, also written USD₮, is a Tether token designed to track the US dollar. It is commonly called a stablecoin. Receiving USDT means receiving blockchain tokens; it does not deposit bank dollars into your account.

USDT exists on different networks. The asset name alone does not specify the transfer route. The recipient must support both the chosen network and the particular token on it. Even matching address formats do not prove that payment options are compatible.

Before sending, compare the invoice details with your wallet: network, token identifier, recipient address, exact amount and any additional payment details. A token name or logo can be copied, so check identifiers against Tether's official directory. Fees depend on the route and wallet; check which asset is needed to pay them before proceeding.

In Cryptanio, use the options shown for the particular payment. Issuer support for a network does not prove availability in your project. Broadcasting a transaction does not complete payment: wait for the required confirmation state and reconcile the result. A stablecoin does not promise an unchanging market price or freedom from risk.
