The Ramp listing itself checks out: Ramp's public asset API (https://api.ramp.network/api/host-api/assets) lists CELO_USAT at 0xD2ab3C9A02DBBAB236BfEC45D1d755DF4267F771, enabled, so it's the right token and not USDT. Two things before this goes in.
The Self faucet bullet should point at the faucet itself. It's Self and Google Cloud's USA₮ Mainnet Faucet at https://cloud.google.com/application/web3/faucet/celo/mainnet (the Valora launch post links it). It gives out real mainnet USA₮ to verified people, so "useful for testing" will send developers the wrong way.
I couldn't find a source for "available in the US" or for swapping USA₮ on Celo. Ramp's supported-assets article (https://support.rampnetwork.com/en/articles/432-what-cryptoassets-does-ramp-network-support) doesn't list USAT yet, and it says Ramp isn't available at all in Louisiana, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Vermont, Washington and Puerto Rico, with stablecoins restricted in Texas. So "the US" overstates it. If you have the Ramp announcement or a partner note, could you link it? Otherwise I'd keep to buy and sell and say "supported US states".
| ## Get USA₮ | ||

| - **[Ramp Network](/learn/ramps)**: buy USA₮ on Celo with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, swap in from other assets without a bridge, and cash out to a card or bank account. Available in the US. | ||
| - **Self faucet**: verify with [Self](/build/build-with-self) (a zero-knowledge proof of humanity), then claim USA₮. Useful for testing and onboarding new users. |

The faucet is Self and Google Cloud's USA₮ Mainnet Faucet: https://cloud.google.com/application/web3/faucet/celo/mainnet. Could this link there, keeping the Self link for the verification step? It pays out real mainnet USA₮, so I'd drop "useful for testing".

FIXED in d3a8d2a: the bullet links the Self and Google Cloud faucet, keeps the Self link for verification, and says it pays real mainnet USA₮. 'Useful for testing' is gone.

Ramp's API confirms USA₮ on Celo. Do you have a source for the swap part and for the US availability? Ramp's support article lists nine states and territories where it doesn't operate and restricts stablecoins in Texas, so "supported US states" would be safer. Linking the Ramp Network section of /learn/ramps rather than the top of a 1000-line page would also help.

FIXED in d3a8d2a: I have no source for the swap or a US-wide claim, so both are dropped. It now says buy and sell in supported US states, and links the Ramp Network section (/learn/ramps#ramp-network).

| Buying, selling and swapping USA₮ on Ramp Network is available in the US. See [Build with USA₮](/build/build-with-usat). |

Same question as on the USA₮ page: where do the US-only and swap claims come from? A source link here would help whoever updates this entry next.

FIXED in d3a8d2a: same change here. The note says buying and selling in supported US states and no longer mentions swapping. I have no Ramp announcement to link; the claim rests on Ramp's asset API listing CELO_USAT.

Thanks, all three points are fixed and the #ramp-network anchor resolves. One thing in the new wording, inline: Ramp only pays out US sales to a bank account, so selling with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay doesn't hold. Could you also update the PR description? It still mentions swapping and says the faucet URL isn't in the repo. Approving so the fix doesn't need another round.

Ramp's payout article (https://support.rampnetwork.com/en/articles/8992-what-payout-methods-are-available) says US sales pay out by bank only, through ACH or RTP, and "Card payouts are not available for US sales". Apple Pay and Google Pay are only for buying. Maybe: "buy USA₮ on Celo with a card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, and sell it to a US bank account. Available in supported US states."
