Three steps on ToSwap
-
Set the ADA amount and paste the Tether address that should collect payout on ERC-20 on Ethereum.
-
Tap Exchange to lock the live ToSwap quote and reveal this order’s deposit details.
-
Send exactly that ADA amount to the deposit. After Cardano mainnet confirms, USDT is pushed to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Cardano deposits need several confirmations before the swap proceeds.
- Block times are around 20 seconds but can vary with network load.
- Use a Shelley-era Cardano address — legacy Byron formats may not be supported on all routes.
- If USDT is late, refresh your wallet and re-check the order status. When a payout hash is already listed, email or SimpleX support with your Exchange ID — ToSwap has no login that can reopen expired pages.
Cardano — research-driven layer-1
ADA is the native token of Cardano — a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.
Sending ADA
Send native ADA on Cardano mainnet from a compatible wallet.
Leave enough ADA for the transaction fee in addition to your swap amount.
USDT ERC-20 on ToSwap — Ethereum only
ERC-20 USDT is a different deposit from TRC-20. On ToSwap, leave ETH for gas and send only on Ethereum mainnet when the order badge says ERC-20.
Receiving ERC-20 USDT
Set your wallet to Ethereum mainnet with the USDT token visible.
Deposit checklist
Chain mismatches and bad addresses are the usual failure modes — skim these notes before you fund the deposit.

FAQ for this route
Is KYC or a ToSwap account required for ADA → USDT?
No. ToSwap never opens a profile or asks for ID documents on a standard Cardano to Tether order. You stay non-custodial on both legs.
How fast does USDT usually arrive?
Many payouts leave within minutes after the Cardano mainnet deposit confirms. Congestion on Cardano mainnet or ERC-20 on Ethereum can stretch that — fees and mempools set the clock, not a manual review.
Does ToSwap hold my ADA or USDT?
No hosted balance. You broadcast ADA from a wallet you control; USDT is paid only to the address you paste. Nothing sits under a ToSwap username.
What if I send ADA on the wrong network?
Match Cardano mainnet exactly as printed on the order badge. A wrong-chain deposit often cannot be credited automatically — double-check before you broadcast.
