Swap POL from Polygon to USDT on BNB Chain

Swap POL from Polygon to USDT on BNB Chain. Native POL leaves Polygon. Tether USDT is what can arrive on BNB Chain. The gas coin becomes 18 decimal Tether, which still cannot pay fees on chain id 56.

Spend 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. Receive 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955. Circle USDC on BNB Chain is a different contract. Polygonscan shows POL. BscScan shows Tether. How to bridge assets between chains is the checklist for not mixing those two dollar tokens.

Tether, not Circle

0x8AC76a51cc950d9822D68b83fE1Ad97B32Cd580d is Circle. This quote buys Tether. If the receiving venue said USDC, you are on the wrong page. Issuers do not collapse into one dollar token on BscScan.

Leave POL behind

The native label is both the asset and the fee. Drain it and chain id 137 cannot send. WMATIC at 0x0d500B1d8E8eF31E21C99d1Db9A6444d3ADf1270 will not pay the fee. About 2 second blocks are not the bridge.

USDT waits for BNB

0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955 is not gas. Native BNB is. This route does not include spare BNB. About 3 second destination blocks are not a finish time. Fund BNB if you must transfer the USDT.

Ethereum Tether is 6 decimals

0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7 is not this credit. Do not judge the BNB Chain fill by Ethereum's decimal habit. Read the quote. Etherscan is the wrong explorer.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap POL from Polygon to USDT on BNB Chain?

Spend 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. Receive 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Will BscScan show POL?

No. POL is a Polygon balance. BscScan should show Tether at 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955. Polygonscan shows the native debit of 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, which means POL on chain id 137. The same label on BNB Chain would mean BNB, and this route does not buy it. Look for Tether on BscScan, not a POL balance.

Can I approve POL?

No. The gas label is not a contract. If the wallet asks you to approve 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, stop. You should see a native POL debit on Polygonscan. Keep a remainder so the fee can be paid on chain id 137. There is no contract behind the gas label to approve.

Is this USDT the 6 decimal Ethereum one?

No. Ethereum Tether is 0xdAC17F958D2ee523a2206206994597C13D831ec7. This credit uses 18 decimals at 0x55d398326f99059fF775485246999027B3197955. Compare the quote, not the raw integer. You still need BNB later, because Tether is not the gas coin on chain id 56. Eighteen decimals here are not Ethereum's six. Read the quote, not the raw log.
