Guides
Each of these answers one question completely, with its route priced as it is actually paid rather than in the abstract. They are grouped by what you are trying to do: move an asset to another chain, swap one asset for another, choose between two ways of doing it, or get out of a transfer that has already gone wrong.
Moving USDT
- USDT from BEP20 to TRC20 Deposit on BEP20, withdraw on TRC20: $1 of network fee instead of $3. No BNB balance, no TRX, and no energy to rent at the far end.
- USDT from ERC20 to TRC20 Move USDT off Ethereum to Tron with the network fee inside the amount. No ETH balance needed, and the price is quoted before anything moves.
- USDT from TRC20 to TON Move USDT from Tron to TON with the network fee inside the amount, then pay a @username instead of copying an address. What it costs, and how long it takes.
Moving USDC
Swapping
- Swapping USDT for TRX You can swap USDT for TRX here, quoted with the fee included. First worth knowing: this wallet does not require TRX to send on Tron.
- Swapping Bitcoin for USDT Swap Bitcoin for dollars with the network fee inside the amount. Bitcoin settles about every ten minutes and prices its own fee against demand.
- Swapping USDT for Gram Swap dollars for TON’s native coin with the fee inside the amount. The wallet calls it Gram, and here is why that matters.
- Swapping USDT for SOL Swap dollars for SOL with the fee inside the amount. Solana confirms in under a second and charges a small refundable deposit to hold a token.
When it goes wrong
- You sent it on the wrong network What actually happens when a transfer goes to the right address on the wrong chain, when it is recoverable, and when it is not.
- How long a transfer takes What actually determines the wait: block time, the number of confirmations the far end wants, and which of two chains is slower.
- It says pending and nothing is moving A transfer that sits unconfirmed is usually waiting on the chain, not lost. How to tell which of the three stages it is in, and what each one means.
- Less arrived than you sent Three things take a cut between the amount you type and the amount that lands, and all three are visible before you sign. Which is which, and what is normal.
- You deposited and the balance has not changed A deposit that has not appeared is usually still confirming, or arrived on a network the address does not serve. How to tell the two apart in a minute.
- The address was not accepted A refused address is the last cheap moment to catch a mistake. What the check is looking at, and the four reasons it usually says no.
Choosing
- TRC20 or BEP20 Both carry USDT, both are cheap, and they are not interchangeable. What separates them, and how to pick the one your recipient can actually receive.
- Moving money without routing it through an exchange Depositing to an exchange to change network works, and costs more than the withdrawal fee. What each step actually takes from you, side by side.
- You do not need a bridge for this Bridges exist for a problem most people moving stablecoins do not have. What a bridge actually does, what it costs, and why this is a different mechanism.
- Instant exchangers, and what you hand over to use one Exchanger sites quote a rate and take custody for the minutes in between. What that gap contains, and how a wallet that never holds the funds differs.
Questions
Which guide do I need?
Start from what you hold and where it has to end up. If the asset stays the same and only the chain changes, that is a move; if the asset itself changes, that is a swap. The groups below are in that order, with the ones about recovering a mistake last.
Are the prices in these guides current?
Each guide prices its own pair from the same endpoint the wallet quotes from, at the moment you open it, so the figure in a guide is the figure you would be shown. What it cannot tell you is what that route will cost in an hour.
Do I need the network’s own coin for any of these?
No, on any chain in any of them. The blockchain fee comes out of the transfer itself, which is how BEP20 to TRC20 comes to $1 rather than $3 plus the cost of keeping a fee balance you never asked for.
There is no guide for the pair I want.
The wallet quotes 162 routes and only a fraction of them have a guide. A pair without one behaves exactly the same way — choose the two chains in the wallet and it prices the route. These exist for the pairs people ask about, not as a catalogue of what is possible.
