How to convert Tether to PublicAI

Converting USDT to PUBLIC on NEAR Mobile Swap is done in three simple steps through the NEAR Intents protocol: Deposit, Swap, and Withdraw.

Step 1 — Deposit USDT from Ethereum
Go to the Deposit tab and select Tether (USDT) on Ethereum. The widget will generate a deposit address (or QR code) — send your USDT there from any wallet. Once the deposit is confirmed on Ethereum, your USDT balance appears inside NEAR Intents.

Step 2 — Swap USDT to PUBLIC on NEAR Intents
Switch to the Swap tab, pick USDT as the source and PUBLIC as the target. Enter the amount and confirm — solvers compete to fill your order and the swap settles in seconds.

Step 3 — Withdraw PUBLIC to NEAR
Finally, go to the Withdraw tab. Select PublicAI (PUBLIC) from your NEAR Intents balance and choose NEAR as the destination. Enter an address from a NEAR wallet such as NEAR Mobile or Meteor and confirm.

⚠ Important: When entering a withdrawal address, make sure it is a personal wallet you control. Some centralized exchanges do not support receiving funds from smart-contract-based deposits — sending to an exchange address may result in lost funds.

About the USDT → PUBLIC swap

This is a cross-chain swap: your USDT leaves Ethereum and PUBLIC arrives on NEAR. Normally that takes a bridge plus a DEX, or a centralized exchange account. With NEAR Intents the deposit, swap and withdrawal happen in one flow, and what lands in your wallet is PUBLIC on NEAR, not a wrapped copy you have to bridge again.

Swapping USDT to PUBLIC is how you buy PublicAI with US dollars you already hold on-chain: you pay in a stablecoin and receive PUBLIC directly on NEAR.

About Tether and PublicAI

What is Tether (USDT)?

Tether (USDT) is a stablecoin designed to hold a value of one US dollar, issued by the company Tether since 2014. Having started on Bitcoin's Omni Layer, it has since expanded to many blockchains, including Ethereum, TRON, Solana and others.

How Tether works

Tether creates new USDT when verified customers deposit dollars and redeems tokens for dollars when they are returned, so the supply follows demand. The company reports holding reserve assets, mainly US Treasury bills and cash equivalents, to back the tokens in circulation and publishes periodic attestations of those reserves.

What USDT is used for

Traders use USDT to park funds between trades and as a quote currency on exchanges around the world. It is also common for cross-border payments and for saving in dollars in places with volatile local currencies.

USDT supply

There is no fixed supply: tokens are minted when dollars come in and burned when they are redeemed. The goal is for each USDT to be backed by reserves worth at least one dollar.

Before you swap USDT

USDT exists on many networks, and the swap widget defaults to the Ethereum version, so confirm the selected network matches the chain of your wallet before sending or receiving. Sending USDT over the wrong network can make funds difficult or impossible to recover.

What is PublicAI (PUBLIC)?

PublicAI is a decentralized 'human layer' for AI: people around the world supply, label and check data that AI companies pay for. Its PUBLIC token was sold on CoinList in August 2025 and launched that month, with NEAR as a main home, and the project counts the NEAR and Solana foundations among its backers.

How PublicAI works

Contributors complete data tasks and earn PUBLIC. They must stake tokens as collateral, which can be slashed if they submit poor or malicious work. The platform describes client revenue as the source of contributor rewards.

What PUBLIC is used for

Contributors earn and stake PUBLIC to take part in data work, and holders can stake it for yield and governance. It also trades on centralized exchanges and across NEAR, Solana and BNB Chain.

PUBLIC supply

Total supply is 1 billion PUBLIC. A large share is set aside for community rewards and airdrops, and team and investor allocations unlock over time.

Before you swap PUBLIC

This page uses the NEAR token by default. A Solana version is also listed, so pick the network your wallet expects and keep NEAR or SOL for fees. PublicAI is a newer token with a young market, so expect volatility.
