GRAM vs USDT: which is cheaper to pay with

Catallaxy lets you pay in GRAM or USDT. Both settle in seconds, but there is a difference — here's the short cheat sheet.

GRAM — native and fast

GRAM is the network's own coin, so the transaction is as cheap and fast as it gets. One downside: the rate floats, so the fiat price drifts a little day to day.

USDT — steady

USDT on TON is a dollar-pegged stablecoin. The price is predictable, handy for larger buys. Technically it's a jetton, so the fee is a touch higher than native GRAM — still pennies.

Which to pick

• Small one-off purchase → GRAM, minimal fee.
• Want to lock the cost in dollars → USDT.

Either way the payment is confirmed in your wallet and the product arrives instantly.
