How to get USDT on Linea
USDT is a stablecoin pegged to the US Dollar 1:1. All bets placed on Linea are settled, and redeemed, in USDT.
At the time of writing LINEA is not widely supported by the major T1 CEXs, this is why we need to bridge USDT from a source chain to LINEA, or use a DEX to swap tokens on LINEA to USDT
There are a number of bridges supporting the launch of LINEA. We recommend using Meson if you want to bridge USDT directly to LINEA from a source chain.
NOTE: Bridging fees are quite high at the time of writing, a more cost-effective method is bridging ETH using Orbiter and swapping from ETH to USDT using a DEX
