Swap USDT from Polygon to SOL on Solana

Swap USDT from Polygon to SOL on Solana. Tether USDT leaves Polygon. SOL is what can arrive on Solana. A dollar balance becomes the coin that pays fees on the other network.

You spend 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F. You are quoted against So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Polygonscan shows the Tether debit. Solscan shows SOL. There is no ERC-20 approval on the destination. How cross-chain bridges work is useful if a 0x address and a Solana address still look interchangeable.

You leave the peg on purpose

If you needed a dollar balance, this route is wrong. Circle's mint and Tether's mint on Solana are other quotes. This one pays SOL.

Wrapped SOL mint, not an ERC-20

So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112 is how routes name SOL. Phantom spends it as SOL. It is not WETH and not WBTC. WBTC is not native bitcoin, and this hop is not bitcoin.

Two signatures may spend POL

Approving Polygon Tether is its own transaction. The swap is another. Both need POL on chain id 137. Solana adds no approval after that.

A 0x receiver fails

MetaMask can show the debit. It cannot show the SOL credit. Paste the address Phantom shows. Solscan is the check.

Frequently asked questions

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

You spend 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F. You are quoted against So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. XAUConnect compares live routes and lets your own wallet sign.

Will the SOL show up in MetaMask?

No. MetaMask on chain id 137 can show the Tether debit at 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F. The SOL credit is the mint So11111111111111111111111111111111111111112. Open Phantom and Solscan. There is no ERC-20 approval on Solana. A 0x receiver never displays that mint. Search the SOL mint in Phantom, not in an EVM wallet.

What if the quote expires?

Let it expire. USDT against SOL can move. A fresh quote gives a new minimum. This page does not publish a finish time for the bridge. About 2 seconds is the Polygon block on Polygonscan, not the whole route. POL must remain for the send.

Is the output still Tether?

No. Tether on Solana is Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB. This quote buys SOL. If you needed the dollar mint, switch routes before you approve 0xc2132D05D31c914a87C6611C10748AEb04B58e8F. Polygonscan will not list the SOL mint. If you still need a dollar mint, pick Tether or Circle on Solana instead of this SOL output.
