How to Send USDT and USDC on Spenda: A Simple Guide to Stablecoin Transfers

Whether you're paying someone, moving funds to another wallet, or sending stablecoins to an exchange, Spenda makes the process simpler. With Spenda 2.0, you can send stablecoins directly from your Naira balance in just a few simple steps.

What Are USDT and USDC?

USDT (Tether) and USDC (USD Coin) are stablecoins designed to maintain a value close to one US dollar. They're commonly used for digital payments, transferring funds, and accessing dollar-denominated value in the crypto ecosystem.

USDT and USDC operate across different blockchain networks, so choosing the correct network is essential when sending either asset.

How to Send USDT or USDC on Spenda

Sending stablecoins is straightforward. Follow these steps to get started.

Open the Spenda App

Make sure you have sufficient funds in your Naira balance.

Select Transfer

Navigate to Transfer, then select Stablecoins.

Choose USDT or USDC

Select the stablecoin you want to send, then choose the appropriate supported network for your transfer. Available options include BEP-20, TRC-20, SOL, ERC-20, Base, and Arbitrum, depending on the selected asset.

Enter the Amount

Enter how much USDT or USDC you want to send. Review the network, transfer amount, and applicable fee displayed, then continue.

Enter the Recipient's Wallet Address

Carefully enter the recipient's wallet address, and confirm that it supports the selected stablecoin on your chosen network.

Confirm and Send

Once you've verified all the details, confirm your transaction. Your stablecoins will be sent directly from your Naira balance, with no separate manual swap required.

Which Network Should You Choose?

Spenda supports multiple networks to give users flexibility when sending stablecoins. Here's a quick overview:

TRC-20: the TRON network, commonly used for USDT transfers.
BEP-20: the BNB Smart Chain network, which supports stablecoin transfers.
SOL: the Solana network, known for fast blockchain transactions.
ERC-20: the Ethereum network, widely used across the crypto ecosystem.
Base: an Ethereum Layer 2 network.
Arbitrum: another Ethereum Layer 2 network.

Network availability depends on the stablecoin selected. Always choose a network supported by both Spenda and the recipient's wallet or exchange. Never select a network based on the address format alone.

Important Things to Know Before Sending

Before confirming your transaction, keep these tips in mind:

Double-check the wallet address. Even a small mistake can send funds to the wrong destination.
Match the network. The network selected on Spenda must match the network supported by the recipient.
Confirm the amount. Make sure you're sending the intended amount and have sufficient Naira to cover the transaction and applicable fees.
Keep your transaction reference. Save the transaction details in case you need assistance.

Blockchain transactions may be irreversible once processed. If you're unsure about a recipient address or network, verify the details before proceeding.
