Swap USDT from Ethereum to POL on Polygon
Swap USDT from Ethereum to POL on Polygon. A Polygon wallet short of gas spends Ethereum Tether and receives native POL.
Native POL uses 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. That placeholder is the gas coin on chain id 137, shown on Polygonscan as a native balance. The token you approve is Tether, 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7, on Etherscan. If your Tether is already the Polygon contract at 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F, you do not need this bridge. You need ETH beside the mainnet USDT so chain id 1 can mine the send. Switch the wallet to chain id 137 and read the native line on Polygonscan, including wallets that still print the older MATIC label for this gas coin.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best way to swap USDT from Ethereum to POL on Polygon?
Native POL uses 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. That placeholder is the gas coin on chain id 137, shown on Polygonscan as a native balance.
I hold USDT on Polygon already. Should I open this page?
No. This page starts from Ethereum Tether at 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 on Etherscan. Polygon USDT at 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F can be swapped for POL on chain 137. Using this bridge would move a mainnet balance you may be leaving in place on purpose. Use a same-chain swap instead.
Is 0xEeee a POL contract on Polygonscan?
It is a placeholder for the native gas coin, not a contract to import. On chain id 137 that coin is POL. Polygonscan shows it as the native balance of the address. Importing the placeholder creates a useless token row. Switch the wallet network and read the gas line.
What else belongs in the Ethereum wallet?
Tether plus ETH. The USDT contract cannot pay gas on chain id 1, and blocks there are about 12 seconds. POL does not exist on Ethereum yet, so it cannot pay the fee either. Add a small ETH balance before you approve 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7.
