Swapping

Swapping Bitcoin for USDT

Bitcoin is the slowest and dearest thing to move here. Both facts belong to Bitcoin rather than to the route. A block lands about every 10 minutes and the fee to be in it is auctioned, so the wait and the cost are decided by everyone else sending at the same time as you.

You send BTC token 0.01 BTC Bitcoin
You get USDT token USDT TRC20
Pricing this route…

Live, for this pair. The wallet adds its service fee, shown before you sign.

Why the fee is not a number anyone can print

Bitcoin runs a market for block space. A quiet Sunday and a busy Tuesday differ by an order of magnitude, which is why exchanges batch their withdrawals and why any page quoting a fixed Bitcoin fee is quoting an average rather than a price. The figure here is priced when you ask and holds while you decide.

10 minutes is an average, not a promise

Blocks arrive on a Poisson schedule: the gap between two of them averages 10 minutes and can be a fraction of that or several times it. A transfer that has not confirmed a little past the average is not stuck, it is waiting its turn, and there is no priority queue to join afterwards.

Which dollars you get

The USDT that arrives is a credit on whichever chain you chose to receive on, and those are not interchangeable: Tron’s and BNB Chain’s are separate balances that happen to be worth the same. Pick the one whoever you are paying next can accept, not the one that sounds familiar.

The whole balance can go

The network fee is settled inside the operation rather than deducted separately, so nothing has to stay behind to pay for the send. There is no dust remainder left at an address that is too small to be worth moving later.

What you are actually doing

This is an exchange, not a transfer between two forms of the same money. You are giving up an asset that moves and taking one that does not, at the price of the moment you sign. That is the point when the swap is deliberate and the risk when it is a reflex.

The wallet

Several wallets in one account, separate on-chain

Hold as many wallets as you need inside one Telegram account. Each is its own account on-chain, and nothing links them until you move money between them, so paying from one tells nobody about the others. Send to a @username or to any address.

Questions

How long does a Bitcoin swap take?

A block lands about every 10 minutes on average, and the gap is irregular by design. The wallet shows what arrives before you sign.

Why does the cost change between quotes?

Bitcoin auctions its block space, so the fee is whatever the market clears at. The price you are quoted is the real one for that moment.

Can I swap my whole Bitcoin balance?

Yes. The fee comes out of the operation, so no remainder has to stay behind.
