Move USDT from Ethereum to Tron
Send ERC-20 USDT from Ethereum and get TRC-20 USDT at a Tron address beginning with T. The move starts once Sentinel counts 12 Ethereum confirmations, about 2.4 minutes, with the flat 0.48% fee already in the quote. There is no account or KYC, and a deposit that cannot complete is refunded automatically.
How it works
You send USDT on Ethereum, the agents move it to Tron
Your part is a single ERC-20 transfer from an Ethereum wallet or exchange account; everything after it runs without you.
-
1. Enter the amount and a T address
Type how much ERC-20 USDT you will move, paste the Tron address that should hold it afterwards, and choose a fixed or floating rate.
-
2. Send USDT on Ethereum
You get a one-time Ethereum deposit address. Send the exact USDT amount on the ERC20 network. Sentinel waits for the Ethereum confirmations.
-
3. Receive USDT on Tron
After the twelfth Ethereum confirmation the swap runs and Courier pushes TRC-20 USDT to your T address. Most orders are done within 5 to 30 minutes.
Pair facts
USDT ERC20 to TRC20 at a glance
You send USDT on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token and receive the same USDT on Tron as a TRC-20 token. The swap starts once Sentinel has counted 12 Ethereum confirmations, about 2.4 minutes at one block per 12-second Ethereum slot. The payout goes to a Tron address starting with T. Neither chain needs a memo, a refund address is optional, and the flat 0.48% fee is already inside your quote.
- You send
- ERC-20 USDT from a wallet or exchange that withdraws on Ethereum. Your wallet pays the gas for this deposit in ETH, and that fee goes to the network.
- Confirmations
- 12 on Ethereum before the swap starts, about 2.4 minutes.
- You receive
- TRC-20 USDT on Tron, sent by Courier to the address on your order.
- Payout address
- A Tron address, which starts with T. A 0x address is invalid here.
- Memo or tag
- None, on either chain.
- Refund address
- Optional, because an Ethereum deposit reveals the sending wallet. Paying from an exchange? Add a 0x refund address you control, since a refund returns on Ethereum.
- Order size
- From $10 up to $10,000,000, measured in USD.
- Rate lock
- 30 minutes from order creation on a fixed rate; a floating rate settles when the swap executes.
- Typical time
- 5 to 30 minutes, depending on network confirmations.
Before you move it to Tron. Always send exactly the quoted amount so the swap fills at the rate you saw. For fees, speed and support on each network, see USDT TRC20 vs ERC20 compared. Moving the other way? The USDT TRC20 to ERC20 swap takes Tron USDT and pays out to a 0x Ethereum address.
Ethereum side, Tron side
Paying gas on Ethereum, holding USDT on Tron
- The deposit calls a contract
- Moving ERC-20 USDT runs the token contract, which needs a higher gas limit than the 21,000 units of a plain ETH payment, and gas can only be paid in ether. A wallet that holds USDT but no ETH cannot send the deposit.
- 34 characters, starting with T
- That is the form Tron wallets and explorers display. The same account also has a hex form beginning with 41, but the payout field takes only the T form.
- A short payout leg
- Tron seals a block roughly every three seconds, so the TRC-20 transfer Courier broadcasts is normally in a block within seconds, and your order page links it on Tronscan.
- Free Bandwidth, no free Energy
- Tron currently gives each account up to 600 free Bandwidth per rolling 24 hours, yet Energy, which every later TRC-20 transfer from your T address also spends, has no free quota at all.
Who moves it. Sentinel waits out the 12 Ethereum confirmations, Executor fills the order and Courier signs the TRC-20 payout, after Oracle and Router have set the price and the path (how the five agents split the work). Every confirmed deposit ends one of two ways: delivered, or refunded automatically. With a fixed rate the Tron amount stays locked for 30 minutes from order creation, a floating rate settles at execution, and the 0.48% fee is the same in both.

USDT ERC20 to TRC20 fees and timing
On this route Ghostex charges the flat 0.48% fee, and your quote already includes it: 1,000 USDT sent on Ethereum carries a 4.80 USDT fee. Ghostex also covers the network fee for sending the TRC-20 payout, already reflected in your quote. The 12 Ethereum confirmations take about 2.4 minutes, and most orders reach your T address within 5 to 30 minutes.
Fee: 0.48%, inside the quote
On 1,000 USDT the 0.48% fee is 4.80 USDT; at the $10 minimum it is about 0.05 USDT. The network fee for sending your Tron payout is covered by Ghostex and already reflected in your quote.
Order to payout: 5 to 30 minutes
Typical time from order to TRC20 payout.
Deposit wait: about 2.4 minutes
12 Ethereum confirmations × 12-second slots.
Deposit monitoring: 24/7
Sentinel watches Ethereum around the clock, so a deposit sent at any hour starts its count once it is seen.
The network matters most here. USDT exists on many chains. Send only USDT on the Ethereum network (ERC20) to the deposit address, and receive to a USDT address on the Tron network (TRC20). A deposit sent on the wrong network may be unrecoverable, so check both networks before you send.
Refunds are automatic. You pay in USDT on Ethereum, which shows the sending address, so a refund address is optional. If the move cannot complete, the deposit returns to your refund address, or to the Ethereum address you paid from, minus the network cost of sending it. Our refunds guide explains how the automatic refund path works.
FAQ
USDT Ethereum to Tron questions
Which USDT networks are involved?
You send USDT on the Ethereum network (ERC20) and receive USDT on the Tron network (TRC20). Tether's list of supported protocols gives the TRC20 USDT contract as TR7NHqjeKQxGTCi8q8ZY4pL8otSzgjLj6t, so you can check that the USDT your Tron wallet shows is the official token.
Why move USDT to Tron?
USDT on Tron usually has a lower network cost to send later than USDT on Ethereum, so moving to TRC20 can make small transfers cheaper, at the cost of one move now. Later TRC-20 transfers spend Energy and Bandwidth under Tron's resource model: stake TRX for them or keep TRX in the wallet, because the network burns TRX from your balance when resources run short.
What happens if I send on the wrong network?
Send only on the network shown on your order. A deposit on the wrong network may be unrecoverable, and recovery is not guaranteed. Always confirm you are sending USDT on Ethereum (ERC20).
Do I need an account or KYC?
No. No account, no email and no identity check. You enter your Tron USDT address, send USDT on Ethereum and receive USDT on Tron.
