    Exchange in 3 steps

    1. Choose how much USDT to send and enter your Cardano address on Cardano mainnet.

    2. Hit Exchange to open your order page with the live rate and deposit details.

    3. Transfer USDT to the address on your order — after confirmations, ADA is sent to your wallet automatically.

    What do you need to know?

    • TRC-20 USDT confirms quickly on Tron — usually within a minute or two.
    • Never send USDT on the wrong network. TRC-20, ERC-20, and other variants are not interchangeable.
    • Keep a small TRX balance in your wallet to pay Tron energy/bandwidth for TRC-20 sends.
    • ADA 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 tracks the US dollar and is widely used for trading and transfers — always match the correct chain (TRC-20, ERC-20, etc.).

    USDT network mismatch

    The most common error is sending ERC-20 USDT to a TRC-20 address or vice versa.

    Double-check the network badge on your order before sending.

    You receive

    Cardano — research-driven layer-1

    ADA is the native token of Cardano — a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.

    ADA payout delays

    Resync your Cardano wallet if the order shows a sent transaction but balance is unchanged.

    When will ADA arrive?

    Cardano block times are around 20 seconds — payouts typically follow within several blocks.

    • Use a Shelley-era Cardano address compatible with your wallet.
    • Check a Cardano explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
    • Allow a few extra minutes if your wallet is still syncing the latest epoch.

    Frequently asked questions

    Do I need KYC to swap USDT to ADA?

    No. SendSwap is a non-custodial instant exchange — no account, no ID checks, and no KYC for Tether to Cardano swaps.

    How long does USDT to ADA take?

    Most swaps finish in 1–5 minutes. Timing depends on TRC-20 on Tron and Cardano mainnet confirmations and current network load.

    Is USDT to ADA non-custodial?

    Yes. You send USDT from your wallet and receive ADA directly to the address you provide — SendSwap never holds your keys.

    What if I send USDT on the wrong network?

    Always match the network on your order page (TRC-20 on Tron for deposits). Wrong-network sends may not be credited — read our swap safety guides before you send.
