How the ADA to USDT route works
This route spans two networks: ADA leaves your wallet on Cardano and USDT settles on Ethereum. NativeSwap routes it natively, so no centralized bridge sits in the middle and you do not receive a wrapped token.
- You send
- ADA is the native coin of Cardano. You sign the transaction on Cardano, so that network's gas fee applies.
- You receive
- this route uses USDT on Ethereum. Tether arrives at an address you control on Ethereum.
Cardano settles on Cardano; Tether settles on Ethereum. Assets issued on more than one network can be routed on a different chain. You pay network gas on Cardano plus a service fee of roughly 10-15 basis points; swaps under $10 have no service fee. Settlement time depends on how quickly each network confirms, and an estimate is shown before you confirm.
