What is Tether USD (USDt) and How Does It Work in AQUA?

Tether (USDt) is a stablecoin designed to stay equal in value to the US dollar. Unlike Bitcoin, its price doesn’t fluctuate—holding USDt means holding digital dollars.

AQUA Wallet natively supports USDT on the Liquid Network. To interact with USDT on other networks like Ethereum, Polygon, Tron, and BNB Smart Chain, AQUA integrates with swap providers such as SideShift and Changelly.

If you send USDT to an Ethereum, Polygon, Tron, or BNB Smart Chain address, AQUA uses a third-party service (like SideShift or Changelly) to convert your Liquid USDT into the right version before it gets there.

If someone sends USDT from one of those networks to your AQUA wallet, the same kind of conversion happens in reverse—it arrives as Liquid USDT.
