Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the ETH amount and paste your Tether payout address on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
-
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
- Native on Optimism confirmations are usually fast.
- Send ETH on Native on Optimism only — not other L1/L2s unless your order says otherwise.
- Leave enough native gas token in your wallet for network fees.
- 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.
Ethereum on Optimism
Always match ETH on Native on Optimism when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Native on Optimism.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
Tether — dollar-pegged stablecoin
USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) is widely used in DeFi — send only on Ethereum mainnet.
Receiving ERC-20 USDT
Your wallet must be on Ethereum mainnet with the USDT token visible.

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 → Tether.
How long is a ETH → USDT order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. Native on Optimism and ERC-20 on Ethereum 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 (Native on Optimism). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
