Whether you’re hiring freelancers or offering your services on GigzHQ, you’ll need a simple and reliable way to send and receive payments.

To make global payments faster, more affordable, and more accessible, GigzHQ uses USDT (Tether) on the TRC20 network.

If you’ve never used cryptocurrency before, don’t worry.

This guide will walk you through creating a MEXC account, completing identity verification, buying USDT through P2P, and preparing your account for payments on GigzHQ.

Why GigzHQ Uses USDT (TRC20)

USDT is a stablecoin designed to maintain a value close to the US Dollar.

Unlike many cryptocurrencies that experience significant price fluctuations, USDT aims to remain stable, making it suitable for online payments.

Using the TRC20 network also offers several advantages:

• Fast transactions
• Low network fees
• Global accessibility
• Reliable payment processing
• Easy transfers between users

Whether you’re an employer paying for services or a freelancer requesting a withdrawal, USDT (TRC20) provides a practical payment method.

Choose a strong password and keep your login credentials secure.

Step 2: Complete Identity Verification (KYC)

Before buying cryptocurrency through P2P, you’ll usually need to complete identity verification.

This process helps protect buyers and sellers while complying with financial regulations.

Typically, you’ll be asked to provide:

• A valid government-issued ID
• A selfie or facial verification
• Basic personal information

Verification is generally completed within a short period, although processing times may vary.

Tip: Always double-check transaction details and never confirm payment unless you have successfully transferred the funds. Following safe P2P trading practices helps protect both buyers and sellers.

Step 5: Use the TRC20 Network

What’s the Difference Between an Internal Transfer and a Blockchain Transfer?

Many beginners assume they’re the same thing. A brief explanation can prevent confusion:

• Internal MEXC Transfer: Sends funds from one MEXC user to another within the exchange, often instantly and with little or no fee.
• Blockchain (TRC20) Transfer: Sends USDT from MEXC to an external wallet address (such as a personal wallet or another platform) over the TRON blockchain.

That distinction will help readers understand why GigzHQ specifies USDT (TRC20) for payments and withdrawals, reducing the chance of users selecting the wrong transfer method.

Sending USDT to GigzHQ

If you’re an employer, you’ll use USDT (TRC20) when funding your GigzHQ account or making payments as instructed during checkout.

Always send funds only to the wallet address provided by GigzHQ and follow any payment instructions shown on the platform.

Receiving USDT as a Freelancer

If you’re a freelancer, you’ll need to add your USDT (TRC20) wallet address to your GigzHQ profile so approved withdrawals can be sent to you.

Before requesting a withdrawal, verify that your wallet address is correct.

A single incorrect character can cause funds to be sent to the wrong destination.
