How the USDT to RUNE route works
This route spans two networks: USDT leaves your wallet on Ethereum and RUNE settles on THORChain. NativeSwap routes it natively, so no centralized bridge sits in the middle and you do not receive a wrapped token.
- You send
- this route uses USDT on Ethereum. You sign the transaction on Ethereum, so that network's gas fee applies.
- You receive
- this route uses RUNE on THORChain. Thorchain arrives at an address you control on THORChain.
Tether settles on Ethereum; Thorchain settles on THORChain. Assets issued on more than one network can be routed on a different chain. You pay network gas on Ethereum 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.
