How to obtain cUSDT to participate in Phantom’s upcoming Mainnet Mining?

To participate in the Phantom mainnet launch reward program, you will need cUSDT as the collateral to create synthetic assets (pAssets).

Since cUSDT is the USDT equivalent on the Conflux blockchain, it can be obtained in 3 ways:

1: Cross-chain with ShuttleFlow

You can have your ERC-20 USDT and get them through ShuttleFlow cross-chain (from Ether cross-chain to Conflux)

2: Purchase on Moonswap

Buy cUSDT directly from Moonswap using CFX

3: Lend cUSDT on Flux

Flux is a decentralized lending protocol powered by Conflux. You can use cryptocurrencies like CFX to lend cUSDT and participate in the Phantom mainnet mining reward.
