Before you swap USDT to ADA
- Send USDT (TRC20) on Tron only: the deposit address is generated for Tron (starts with T) and expects the TRC-20 token with contract TR7NHq…Lj6t.
- USDT is also listed on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Polygon, Arbitrum One, Base, but this swap only watches Tron: USDT sent from another network won’t be detected.
- Keep some TRX in your wallet: sending a token on Tron costs a network fee in TRX, not in USDT.
- Tron adds a block about every 3 seconds and your deposit is credited after 20 confirmations on Tron, so expect a few minutes to confirm on Tron + manual payout.
- Send between 20 and 100,000 USDT; the widget won’t create a swap outside this range.
- You need an address on Cardano to receive ADA (starts with addr1).
- ADA is also listed on BNB Chain. This pair pays out on Cardano only — make sure your wallet or exchange account accepts ADA on Cardano. Funds sent on a network your wallet doesn't support can be hard or impossible to recover.
Swapping the other way? Deposits of 20–500,000 ADA are credited after 20 confirmations on Cardano: a few minutes to confirm on Cardano + manual payout. Use the ADA to USDT (TRC20) exchange page.
Fees and exchange rate
ShadowSwap adds no spread or service fee: the USDT → ADA rate is the ratio of their live USD prices, with USDT valued at exactly $1. Your wallet pays the Tron fee for the deposit in TRX; the Cardano network fee for sending your ADA is deducted from the payout. The ADA amount is calculated when you create the swap and saved on your order. See how ShadowSwap fees work.
FAQ: USDT to ADA
A few minutes to confirm on Tron + manual payout. Your USDT deposit is credited after 20 confirmations on Tron, where a block is added about every 3 seconds; payouts are not automatic, so the ShadowSwap team then sends your ADA on Cardano.
On this page, ADA is sent on Cardano. You need an address on Cardano to receive it — starts with addr1.
ShadowSwap does: your USDT goes to a one-time Tron deposit address that ShadowSwap controls until the team sends your ADA. Check the address, network and amount before you send.
