9 Ways You Can Add USDT To Your Metamask Wallet

Last updated on March 2nd, 2023

USDT is one of the more well-established stablecoins, and it can be added to multiple networks.

Here’s a guide to show you how to add USDT to some of the networks that are supported by Metamask.

Can you add USDT to Metamask?

You are able to add USDT to your Metamask wallet on any networks that are compatible with the Ethereum network (e.g. Polygon and Fantom). However, you aren’t able to add USDT to your Metamask wallet using networks that are not compatible with the Ethereum network (e.g. Solana, Zilliqa or Algorand).

There are many networks that you can add USDT to, which you can view on the USDT page on CoinMarketCap.

You are able to add USDT to networks that are supported by Metamask, which are mainly those which are compatible with the Ethereum network.

However, USDT can exist on other networks, such as Solana and Algorand. You will not be able to add these versions of USDT to your Metamask wallet since Metamask does not support them.

How to add USDT to Metamask on the ERC20 network

Here are 3 steps to add USDT to Metamask on the ERC20 network:

1. Go to your Metamask wallet and ensure that you are using the Ethereum Mainnet
2. Select ‘Import Tokens’, and then search for USDT
3. Confirm the addition of USDT to your Metamask wallet

Go to your Metamask wallet and ensure that you are using the Ethereum Mainnet

The first thing you’ll need to do is to ensure that you are using the Ethereum Mainnet on Metamask.

This is the default network for all Metamask wallets. However, you are also able to connect Metamask to other blockchain networks, such as:

1. Polygon
2. Fantom
3. Binance Smart Chain
4. Avalanche

As such, do remember to be on the Ethereum Mainnet before moving on to the next step.

Select ‘Import Tokens’, and then search for USDT

Once you’re on the Ethereum Mainnet, the next step will be to select ‘Import Tokens‘.

On the ‘Search‘ tab, you can search and select USDT as the token that you wish to import.

Confirm the addition of USDT to your Metamask wallet

The last step you will need to do is to confirm importing USDT one more time.

Once you’ve successfully imported USDT to your Metamask wallet, you should see it as one of your assets under the Ethereum Mainnet.

This process is similar to adding other tokens, such as RARI or MANA.

You can click on the contract and it will be copied to your clipboard.

Double check that USDT is detected and select ‘Add Custom Token’

Once you’ve copied the Contract Address, you can paste it in the ‘Token Contract Address‘ field in Metamask.

If you pasted the correct contract address, USDT should automatically appear as the Token Symbol.

After selecting ‘Add Custom Token‘, you will need to confirm importing USDT one more time.

Can I add USDT TRC20 to Metamask?

You are unable to add the TRC20 version of USDT to your Metamask wallet, as Metamask does not support the Tron network. This is because the Tron network is not compatible with the Ethereum network.

Although USDT has a TRC20 contract address,

you are unable to add the TRC20 network to your Metamask wallet!

This is because TRC20 is not an EVM-compatible network.

It will be best not to send USDT via the TRC20 network to your Metamask wallet. There will be a chance that these USDT funds will be lost forever.

To find out why you can’t add the TRC20 network to Metamask, you can check out this video here:

Conclusion

You are able to add USDT to a variety of networks on Metamask after you have transferred them over. This is particularly useful if you are looking to reduce the withdrawal fees, as the ERC20 withdrawal fees are quite high.

This method of adding USDT is also similar to other multi-chain cryptocurrencies, such as USDC, DAI or MIM.

However, there are still some versions of USDT (such as the TRC20 version) which can’t be added to Metamask. These are non-EVM-compatible networks, and you can find out more about them here.
