Cryptorefills supports payments via the Avalanche Blockchain, allowing users to shop with crypto assets like ERC20-compatible stablecoins, including USDT.e and USDT. With the deprecation of the Avalanche-Ethereum Bridge (AEB) in favor of the new Avalanche Bridge (AB), users must migrate their assets to continue seamless transactions. Here’s a comprehensive guide to understanding, converting, and using USDT.e.
Understanding USDT.e and Its Difference from USDT
Avalanche introduced the .e suffix for tokens on the new Avalanche Bridge (AB) to distinguish them from deprecated AEB tokens.
- USDT.e: The upgraded version of USDT running on AB, offering faster transactions and lower fees.
- Legacy USDT: Tokens from the deactivated AEB, no longer supported for transfers.
This naming convention applies to all migrated assets (e.g., "TokenName.e").
