Bridge USDT from Stellar to Celo

Open the transfer interface at usdt0.to/transfer and connect Freighter, LOBSTR, or another Stellar wallet. Pick Stellar as the origin and Celo as the destination, enter the amount, then approve the transaction in your wallet. The transfer usually completes in about 31m 24s, depending on Stellar finality.

Moving USDT between Stellar and Celo goes through the Legacy Mesh, which charges 0.03% (3 bps) of the amount, paid in USDT. You pay network gas on Stellar and the LayerZero messaging fee that carries the transfer, both quoted in the interface before you confirm.

Yes. Celo keeps native USDT, and that is what lands in your wallet: the Legacy Mesh routes the transfer through the Arbitrum hub and delivers the real asset, never a wrapped or synthetic version. Every transfer is backed 1:1 by redeemable assets on both sides.

Transfers are secured by LayerZero, the interoperability protocol behind USDT0, and by the USDT0 Attestation System, which verifies every transfer through independent attestation before it finalizes. Each message needs sign-off from the Core Attestation Set, a 3-of-3 signer group of USDT0, LayerZero, and Canary, so no single verifier can approve a transfer on its own. On this pair the funds move through the Legacy Mesh, a non-custodial hub-and-spoke design routed through the Arbitrum hub and backed by real assets on both sides, with no wrapped tokens and no external bridges.
