Overview
In this guide we’ll be doing four crosschain transactions:
Sending XDC from XDC Network to Wanchain
Sending XDC from Wanchain back to XDC Network
Sending USDT from Ethereum to XDC Network
Sending USDT from Wanchain to XDC Network
We will also cover how to acquire wanUSDT on WanSwap
Note: Make sure you have MetaMask installed and connected to Wanchain network, and also have the XDC Pay Chrome extension setup and funded with some XDC.
Note: Bridging USDC between chains follows the exact same process as USDT. Just choose USDC in place of USDT.

Click on XDCPay as seen below.

Bridging USDT from Ethereum to XinFin Network
Make sure you have your MetaMask connected to Ethereum Mainnet, then connect to WanBridge.

Click “Confirm” to continue.
Confirm all MetaMask pop-ups. Notice the very high fee of $19.
Wait for your transaction to show “Success”, then check your XinFin wallet address for your USDT balance.
How to acquire USDT on Wanchain network via WanSwap
Head over to WanSwap and connect your MetaMask address. Make sure you are connected to Wanchain network, and have your address funded with some WAN.
From the drop-down menu, select wanUSDT then enter the amount you wish to swap (in our case, we are swapping ~45 Wan for 10 wanUSDT). Finally, click “Swap” to continue.
Confirm the amount you wish to swap, then click “Confirm Swap”.
Confirm the MetaMask pop-ups, there will be two if this is your first time swapping on WanSwap.
Once your swap has completed, you’ll see the notification on the top right-hand corner.
Bridging USDT from Wanchain to XinFin Network
Make sure you have your MetaMask connected to Wanchain Network, then connect to WanBridge.
Select “USDT” from the drop-down menu, then select “From: Wanchain” and “To: XDC Network”. Enter your destination address in the Recipient field (Your XinFin address) and the amount you wish to crosschain convert, then click “Next”.
Confirm your details, then click “Confirm” to continue.
Confirm your MetaMask pop-ups.
Notice how cheap the fees are when bridging from Wanchain ($0.0001), compared to the $19 fee to bridge from Ethereum.
Wait for your transaction to show “Success”, then check your XinFin wallet address for your USDT.
Make sure you add the USDT token to XDC Pay extension: xdcD4B5f10D61916Bd6E0860144a91Ac658dE8a1437
