Swap POL from Polygon to USDT on Solana

Swap POL from Polygon to USDT on Solana. Native POL leaves Polygon. Tether USDT is what can arrive on Solana. The gas coin on chain id 137 becomes a Tether mint that does not pay Phantom.

Spend 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. Receive Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. Circle's mint is different. Polygonscan shows POL. Solscan shows Tether. No ERC-20 approval runs on Solana. How cross-chain bridges work explains why the gas label is not the SPL mint.

The SPL credit is Tether, not Circle

EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v is Circle. This quote buys Tether. If the venue said USDC, you are on the wrong page. Switch before you spend POL.

Native POL has to survive the Solana hop

The native label is both the asset and the fee. Wrapped POL will not pay chain id 137. Drain native POL and the send fails. About 2 second blocks are not the bridge.

USDT waits without SOL

This route does not buy So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. A Phantom wallet with no SOL can hold the mint and fail the next transfer.

Not an EVM receive

Do not paste a 0x address. Phantom and Solscan are the destination. There is no chain id and no allowance on the mint.

Frequently asked questions

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

Spend 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. Receive Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Will Solscan show POL?

No. POL stays on Polygon. Solscan should show Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. Polygonscan shows the native debit of 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE, which means POL on chain id 137. There is no ERC-20 approval of that label. The same label is not a Solana mint. Look up the Tether mint on Solscan, 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 debit on Polygonscan. Keep a remainder so the fee can be paid. The receiver is a Phantom address, not 0x. Solana never asks for an ERC-20 allowance on that mint.

Is this the Circle mint?

No. Circle on Solana is EPjFWdd5AufqSSqeM2qN1xzybapC8G4wEGGkZwyTDt1v. This credit is Tether. Issuers are not interchangeable on a deposit form. You still need SOL later, because USDT is not the fee coin. There is no finish time for the bridge. Bring SOL if you need to move the Tether after it arrives.
