Exchange in 3 steps

Set the USDT amount and paste your Stellar payout address on Stellar mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send USDT to that deposit. After confirmations, XLM is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- ERC-20 USDT follows Ethereum confirmation times.
- Send USDT on Ethereum mainnet only — not Tron TRC-20.
- Leave ETH in your wallet for gas when sending ERC-20 USDT.
- XLM not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Tether — dollar-pegged stablecoin
USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) is widely used in DeFi — send only on Ethereum mainnet.
USDT on Ethereum mainnet
Use an ERC-20 compatible Ethereum address. TRC-20 USDT is a different asset.
Stellar — fast payments network
XLM (Stellar Lumens) powers the Stellar network — built for low-cost cross-border transfers and tokenized assets.
XLM not visible yet?
Resync your Stellar wallet. If the order shows a sent transaction, verify the address and memo match your wallet.
When will XLM arrive?
Stellar settlements are usually very quick once your deposit confirms.
- Check Stellar Expert or a similar explorer with the payout tx hash.
- Confirm whether your wallet needs a destination memo for incoming funds.
- Keep a small XLM reserve if your wallet requires a minimum balance.

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