Is testnet USDT the same as Tether's USDT?

No. Testnet USDT is a separate ERC-20 deployed only on Monad Testnet for testing. It is not issued by Tether, has no real value, and cannot be moved off testnet to any other chain.

How is USDT different from USDC on Monad Testnet?

Both are USD-pegged stablecoins issued for testnet. They behave identically for routing and pricing. The brand difference exists so you can test stable-to-stable swaps and downstream flows that depend on either name.

Where do I get testnet USDT?

Claim from the stable faucet on Monad Testnet, swap from another token on PuddleSwap, or receive a transfer from another developer. The faucet is free with a daily cooldown.

Can I bridge testnet USDT to mainnet?

No. Testnet tokens stay on testnet. There is no bridge between Monad Testnet and Monad mainnet (or any other chain) for testnet assets. Do not attempt to send testnet USDT across a bridge.

Getting test USDT

Test USDT can be minted from the stable faucet on the testnet, or received via swaps on PuddleSwap. Since USDT is a core token, liquidity is usually available in both directions. You can swap MON for USDT or USDC for USDT in one transaction.

Decimals caveat

USDT uses 6 decimals. If you're reading balances or computing amounts in your own code, don't assume 18. Read decimals() from the token contract. PuddleSwap handles this transparently in the UI.

USDT vs. USDC

Both are test stablecoins with 6 decimals and core-token status. Pick whichever matches the pool you want to trade against. The router will choose the best routing path between the core tokens automatically. See the USDC page for the counterpart.

Swap USDT on PuddleSwap or create a pool paired with it.
