Swap POL for USDT on TRON without an account: enter the amount, paste a T… address and send POL from any Polygon wallet.
TRX (or rented energy)You hold POL — the coin that pays gas on Polygon PoS, called MATIC until 4 September 2024 — and the dollars are needed on TRON, where most invoices and exchange deposit pages that say USDT show a T… address. Polygon confirms quickly, so the whole route takes about 2–5 minutes.
A Polygon transaction only reaches an address on Polygon, and a TRON wallet cannot receive it. The POL is received here and confirmed on Polygon — 4 confirmations — then USDT is transferred on TRON to the T… address you gave. The deposit must be the native coin on Polygon PoS. POL also exists as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum; that is a different balance, and it cannot reach a Polygon deposit address.

Paste the T… address that should receive USDT. The estimate is in USDT.
You get a one-time 0x… address on Polygon PoS. Send the native coin from a wallet switched to the Polygon network, and leave a little POL behind for the gas of that transaction.
4 confirmations — about 2–5 minutes including processing. The USDT amount is fixed then.
The status page links the Tronscan transaction that pays your T… address.
POL lives as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum and as the native coin on Polygon PoS. The deposit address is on Polygon. A transfer of the Ethereum token lands at the same 0x… string on Ethereum, where the swap does not watch, and does not start anything. Check the network selector before you send.
A Polygon transfer costs gas in POL. If you set the amount to the full balance, the wallet either refuses or the transaction fails for lack of gas. Keep a little POL back; the form's amount is what should reach the deposit address.
| Way | What you need | Where it is slower or dearer |
|---|---|---|
| An exchange account | An account, a POL deposit on the Polygon network, a sale, a TRC-20 withdrawal | Two waits and a withdrawal fee |
| A DEX on Polygon, then an exchange | A swap of POL to a stablecoin on Polygon, a deposit of it to an exchange, a withdrawal on TRON | Three steps, two fees and an account |
| This swap | Two addresses | A floating rate fixed at the fourth Polygon confirmation |
Polygonscan shows your wallet sending POL to the deposit address as a plain value transfer, with the amount, the gas and the block. Tronscan shows a payout address sending USDT to your T… address with the amount and the time. Both records are public and permanent; only the status link joins them.
About 2–5 minutes. Polygon needs 4 confirmations at its 2-second block time; most of the wait is processing and the TRON payout.
The form shows it under the amount field. It moves with the TRON fee of the payout and the POL price.
Write to support with the swap ID from the status page. The form has no refund address: a swap that cannot be completed is handled by hand, and a return to the address you sent from is arranged under the partner's rules, less the network fee.
On Polygon PoS, yes: the native coin was upgraded and renamed one to one on 4 September 2024, balances were converted automatically, and some wallets still display the old symbol. On Ethereum the old MATIC token and the new POL token are separate contracts, and neither can be sent to a Polygon address directly.
Yes, withdrawing on the Polygon network — some exchanges still label it Polygon PoS or MATIC network. Choose it rather than Ethereum. Exchanges deduct the withdrawal fee from the amount, so withdraw a little more than the figure on this page.
Not to receive — the sender pays the TRON fee. You need TRX, or rented energy, when you move the USDT on.
