# Spend & Freeze XGT

## Receiving XGT as a form of payment

Customers are free to decide whether they would like to pay with USDT or XGT. The big benefit of accepting XGT as payment is:

* Auto-staking XGT to earn more XGT
* Freezing 1% of all XGT transactions to decrease the circulating supply&#x20;
* Loyalty program discounts off products/services
* Immediate settlement and less than $0.01 transaction fees

Freeze XGT means, any XGT transactions will automatically send 1% of the total XGT amount into the XGT freezer contract where it will be locked until year 2100. So make sure to increase your price of any product/service or subscription by 1% to accommodate this freezing fee 🧊&#x20;

If you need your XGT swapped to USDT in order to withdraw your USDT into your bank account or just looking for a more stable revenue stream, then simply head to Xion Finance to swap your XGT to USDT. Make sure to use the same wallet on [Xion Finance](https://xion.finance/farm) as you do on [Xion Global](https://xion.app).
