Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the ETH amount and paste your Tether payout address on TRC-20 on Tron.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send ETH to that deposit. After confirmations, USDT is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Base confirmations are usually fast — often within a minute.
- Send ETH on Base mainnet only — not Ethereum L1, Optimism, or Arbitrum unless your order says otherwise.
- Use a Base-compatible wallet and address (0x…). Leave enough ETH on Base for gas on top of the swap amount.
- USDT not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
ETH on Base mainnet
Use a Base wallet for deposits. Ethereum mainnet ETH is a different network — wrong-chain sends may not be credited.
Leave enough ETH on Base for gas in addition to the amount you swap.
Tether — dollar-pegged stablecoin
USDT tracks the US dollar and is widely used for trading and transfers — always match the correct chain (TRC-20, ERC-20, etc.).
Receiving USDT on the correct chain
Your wallet must support the exact USDT network listed on the order.
If funds were sent on the wrong chain, recovery may not be possible — verify before you send.
When will USDT arrive?
Most TRC-20 payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms.
- Check the order page for a payout transaction hash before opening a support ticket.
- Refresh or resync your wallet if the balance has not updated after a few minutes.
- Tron confirmations are typically much faster than Bitcoin or Ethereum mainnet.
Why traders swap into USDT
USDT offers dollar-like stability without leaving crypto — useful between trades or during volatile markets.
TRC-20 USDT on Tron keeps transfer fees low, making it a common destination after swapping from BTC, ETH, or alt L1s.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade ETH for USDT?
No. GetSwap is a NO-KYC & Privacy-First Crypto Exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Ethereum (Base) → Tether.
How long is a ETH → USDT order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Base mainnet and TRC-20 on Tron confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody ETH or USDT?
No. You send ETH yourself and USDT is paid to the address you enter — GetSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong ETH network?
Match the network printed on the order (Base mainnet). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
