How to transfer USDT from Celo to Rootstock
Celo keeps native USDT while Rootstock runs USDT0, with no new contract and no migration. Native USDT reaches the USDT0 Network through the Legacy Mesh, a non-custodial hub-and-spoke layer routed through the Arbitrum hub, so moving between Celo and Rootstock stays a single action. There are no wrapped tokens: every transfer is backed 1:1 by real, redeemable assets on both sides.
To transfer, open usdt0.to/transfer, connect any EVM wallet, select Celo as origin and Rootstock as destination, and confirm. Funds typically arrive in about 23m 39s. Transfers through the Legacy Mesh carry a 0.03% fee, paid in USDT, on top of network gas and the LayerZero messaging fee.
