USDT Network Selection Crucial for Smooth Monero Swaps
Tether issues USDT on multiple blockchains, each with its own unique characteristics. Before sending USDT to Monero, it's essential to know which network your USDT is on and choose the matching version in the swap form.
Two popular versions of USDT are TRC-20 (on Tron) and ERC-20 (on Ethereum). Both have the same value but exist on different chains. Transfers from a Tron wallet consume energy and bandwidth, while those from an Ethereum wallet pay gas fees in ETH.
If you send USDT often, keep a small balance of TRX or ETH in your wallet to avoid transfer failures. A common mistake is depositing USDT on the wrong network, which can result in costly recovery fees.
When swapping USDT to Monero, choose the rate type: floating or fixed. Enter the exact amount and paste your XMR address. HiddenSwap's order page shows each stage of the process, making it easy to track your swap.
