Recently, I discovered some mira tokens provided by xlog here, so I wanted to convert them to USDT. However, I was unable to pay the fuel fees on Matic - the fuel fees on the current Polygon network have really increased.
Finally, with the support of some faucet websites, I was able to successfully convert them. Here is a record of the process.
Transfer to Another Network#
Refer to the official tutorial.
Faucet Websites#
The main website that provides assistance is:
This website provides many free faucets for various cryptocurrencies. I applied twice on this website and received about 0.015 $MATIC each time. The interval is three days. You only need to send a tweet (similar to obtaining CSB) to get it.
Exchange to USDT#
Of course, with only 0.03 MATIC, it is not enough to pay for the transfer and swap fuel fees. So how did I successfully exchange it?
- First of all, the cost of transferring to another network is affordable, so I transferred mira to the Polygon mainnet first.
- Then, I used Uniswap to convert 1 mira to 1 USDC. The reason for converting to USDC is that the fuel fees for conversion are relatively low.
- After that, we can use the Swap for Gas Token on the Polygon official website to convert some USDC to Matic (without paying fuel fees).
- After having enough MATIC, we can convert the remaining MIRA to USDT.
Relay#
Now I have some Polygon MATIC tokens. If anyone needs them, I can provide some (about 0.1 MATIC) for free to cover the fuel fees for operating MIRA extraction and conversion to USDT, until my MATIC balance is empty.
