  • Important: When purchasing or transferring USDT, always select Arbitrum as the blockchain network.

Gas Fee Reminder:
If you encounter an error during a transfer to your DFans wallet indicating "Insufficient Gas Fee," note that Arbitrum transactions require ETH as gas fees. When purchasing USDT, make sure to buy $1–$3 worth of ETH to cover these fees.
What is a gas fee?

  • A gas fee is a transaction fee paid to execute contracts or transactions on a blockchain, such as Ethereum. While Ethereum uses the term "gas," other cryptocurrencies may refer to these fees differently, like miner fees.

Where to Buy USDT? ​

You can buy USDT through centralized exchanges, decentralized exchanges, third-party platforms, or P2P (peer-to-peer) channels.

Centralized Exchanges ​

These exchanges act like banks, storing your assets and requiring identity verification due to regulatory oversight. Examples:

  1. Coinbase
  2. Binance
  3. Kraken
  4. Gemini
  5. OKX

Third-Party Wallets and Platforms ​

Decentralized Exchanges (DEX) ​

DEXs allow you to trade without intermediaries, relying solely on your wallet and private key. Examples:

  1. Uniswap
  2. 1inch

What is Blockchain? ​

A blockchain is a decentralized digital ledger that securely records transactions. Each "block" contains data, and the blocks are linked sequentially to form a "chain."

What is Arbitrum? ​

Arbitrum is a technology suite that scales the Ethereum blockchain by making transactions faster and cheaper, reducing congestion and fees on the Ethereum network.
Make sure to select Arbitrum as your chain when buying USDT for DFans!
