Payment in USDT
Payment for Leo Hydra works is settled in USDT on the Polygon network. The instructions below outline the process for collectors new to digital asset payment. Those already familiar may proceed directly to checkout.
You will install a wallet application, acquire USDT on the Polygon network, and transfer the exact amount indicated at checkout to the studio's receiving address. Polygon settles transactions within minutes, at negligible network cost.
- 01
Wallet
Install a wallet application that supports the Polygon network. MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and OKX are widely used. During setup, record your recovery phrase securely; this phrase is the sole means of restoring access to the wallet. Your wallet address — a string beginning with
0x…— is the destination for funds you receive. - 02
Funding
Acquire USDT on the Polygon network through a regulated exchange — Binance, Kraken, Coinbase, or equivalent — and withdraw to your wallet address, selecting Polygon as the withdrawal network. Certain wallets additionally offer in-app purchase through a fiat on-ramp.
Before confirming the withdrawal, verify that the asset is USDT and the network is Polygon (sometimes listed as Polygon PoS). Selecting a different network will direct funds away from your Polygon wallet.

Settlement
At checkout, the studio provides the exact amount and receiving wallet address. In your wallet, select Send, enter the amount, paste the address, and confirm that the active network is Polygon. A small network fee in MATIC is deducted at the time of transfer, distinct from the work's price.
Once the transaction is confirmed on-chain, the order is reconciled automatically. No further action is required.
- Network fees. The sole charge beyond the work's price is the Polygon network fee, paid to the network at the time of transfer. On Polygon this is typically a fraction of a cent.
- Refunds. Where an eligible refund applies, USDT is returned to the wallet used for payment, or to an address you nominate. See our Refund policy.
- Incorrect transfer. If the amount or network differs from the instructions provided at checkout, automatic reconciliation may fail. Contact the studio with your order reference and transaction hash; verification is performed against the order record.
To arrange payment by other means, contact the studio. For bank transfer, see instructions.
