web3钱包不接受系绳币

Question

I am making a website that can allow users to have Etherium wallet for everyone. So I used web3 Api to create wallets.

from web3 import Web3

web3 = Web3(Web3.HTTPProvider('https://mainnet.infura.io/v3/b2862c602e244afa81a6b43d6d5a0a1a'))
web3.eth.account.create(#name)

result:

0xCcE984c41630878b91E20c416dA3F308855E87E2

So I sent 500 usdt in order to check if this wallet is valid and receive USDT / ETH

web3.eth.get_balance('0xCcE984c41630878b91E20c416dA3F308855E87E2')

However, even though I've waited for 5hours It only tells me that the balance is zero.

Is etherium wallet cannot receive USDT coin? or, I made a mistake. Please help me. Thanks!

Answer 1

This is because you created the ethereum address using web3.py on the main ethereum blockchain and not on tether's smart contract that resides inside of the ethereum blockchain.

You need to create the address inside the smart contract using the smart contract's method
