Automated swapRun by AI agents
Move USDT from Tron to Ethereum
Send USDT on the Tron network and receive USDT on the Ethereum network. Same stablecoin, different chain. Five AI agents run the move with no account and no KYC, and the deposit is refunded automatically if it cannot complete.
How it works
You send USDT on Tron, the agents move it to Ethereum
This is a cross-network move of the same asset. Your only manual step is one deposit on the Tron network.
-
1. Set the pair and get a quote
Choose USDT (TRC20) to USDT (ERC20), enter the amount and your Ethereum receive address, and pick fixed or floating. The 0.48% fee is already in the quote.
-
2. Send USDT on Tron
You get a one-time Tron deposit address. Send the exact USDT amount on the TRC20 network. Sentinel waits for the Tron confirmations.
-
3. Receive USDT on Ethereum
When the deposit confirms, Executor moves the value and Courier broadcasts USDT to your Ethereum (ERC20) address. Most orders finish in 5 to 30 minutes.
Pair facts
USDT TRC20 to ERC20 at a glance
In this direction your USDT leaves Tron as a TRC-20 token and lands on Ethereum as an ERC-20 token. Sentinel needs 20 Tron confirmations, about a minute because Tron produces a block every 3 seconds. Paste a 0x Ethereum address for the payout and skip the memo, since neither network uses one. A refund address is optional, and the flat 0.48% fee is inside your quote.
- You send
- TRC-20 USDT from a Tron wallet or an exchange that withdraws on Tron. Sending it spends your wallet's Energy and Bandwidth, or burns TRX, and that cost goes to the network.
- Confirmations
- 20 on Tron before the swap starts, roughly one minute.
- You receive
- ERC-20 USDT on Ethereum, broadcast by Courier to the address on your order.
- Payout address
- Any Ethereum address: 0x plus 40 hex characters. A T address is invalid here.
- Memo or tag
- Not needed on Tron or Ethereum.
- Refund address
- Optional, because a Tron transfer shows its sender. Paying from an exchange account? Add a Tron refund address, starting with T, that you control.
- Order size
- Worth at least $10 and at most $10,000,000.
- Rate
- Lock a fixed rate for 30 minutes from order creation, or take the floating rate.
- Typical time
- 5 to 30 minutes, depending on network confirmations.
Before you send. Send the exact amount quoted, and see what happens if you send a different amount. To see how the two networks compare, read USDT TRC20 vs ERC20 compared. Moving the other way? The USDT ERC20 to TRC20 swap takes Ethereum USDT and pays out to a Tron address that starts with T.
Tron side, Ethereum side
Sending from Tron, receiving on a 0x address
- A wallet with no TRX is stuck
- A TRC-20 transfer executes a smart contract, and Energy comes only from staked or delegated TRX, or from TRX the network burns. With neither TRX nor Energy the wallet cannot send the deposit, so withdraw the USDT from an exchange account instead, which handles that network cost itself.
- Why about a minute
- A Tron block becomes irreversible once at least 19 of the 27 Super Representatives have built on it, typically within about a minute, which is roughly how long the 20 confirmations Sentinel counts take.
- Many networks share the 0x format
- USDT on Arbitrum One, Polygon, Avalanche C-Chain and BNB Smart Chain are separate Ghostex assets, and each of them uses 0x addresses just like Ethereum. When the payout goes to an exchange, copy the deposit address it lists for Ethereum (ERC20), because a 0x string carries no network label.
- Checksum or all lowercase
- On a mixed-case 0x address the form checks the EIP-55 capital-letter checksum, which catches most typos; an all-lowercase address has no checksum, so compare its first and last characters after pasting. Forty hex characters without the 0x prefix are flagged as well.
Behind the move. Oracle prices Tron USDT against Ethereum USDT and Router picks the path; once the Tron deposit is confirmed, Executor converts it and Courier broadcasts the ERC-20 payout (what each of the five agents does). Every confirmed deposit ends one of two ways: delivered, or refunded automatically. Lock the quote for 30 minutes or let it float until execution, at the same 0.48% fee either way: fixed and floating rates compared.

USDT TRC20 to ERC20 fees and timing
Ghostex charges one flat 0.48% fee, built into the quote: on 1,000 USDT sent from Tron that is 4.80 USDT. The network fee for sending your ERC-20 payout is covered by Ghostex and already reflected in your quote. Tron's 20 confirmations take about a minute, and most orders reach your 0x address in 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 Ethereum payout is covered by Ghostex and already reflected in your quote.
Order to payout: 5 to 30 minutes
Typical time from order to ERC20 payout.
Deposit wait: about 1 minute
20 Tron confirmations at one block every 3 seconds.
Deposit monitoring: 24/7
Sentinel watches Tron 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 Tron network (TRC20) to the deposit address, and receive to a USDT address on the Ethereum network (ERC20). 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 Tron, 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 Tron address you paid from, minus the network cost of sending it. Our refunds guide shows where a refund goes if a swap cannot complete.
FAQ
USDT Tron to Ethereum questions
Which USDT networks are involved?
You send USDT on the Tron network (TRC20) and receive USDT on the Ethereum network (ERC20). Tether's list of supported protocols gives the ERC20 USDT contract as 0xdac17f958d2ee523a2206206994597c13d831ec7; match it against the USDT your Ethereum wallet lists before you rely on the balance.
Why move USDT to Ethereum?
Ethereum is where USDT has the widest app and exchange support, so ERC20 is the version to hold when the service you pay accepts USDT only on Ethereum. Moving it later costs gas, and Ethereum gas is paid in ETH, so keep some ETH in the receiving wallet.
What happens if I send on the wrong network?
Only USDT sent on Tron (TRC20) can fill this order. USDT sent over Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain or any other network may be unrecoverable, and recovery is not guaranteed. Check the network badge on your order before you send.
Why is there a fee if it is the same coin?
The move still runs a real swap and broadcasts a payout on Ethereum. The flat 0.48% covers the service, and the Ethereum network fee for sending your payout is covered by Ghostex and already reflected in your quote.
Do I need an account or KYC?
No. No account, no email and no identity check. You enter a 0x Ethereum payout address, send TRC20 USDT on Tron and receive ERC20 USDT on Ethereum.
