In which network to receive USDT
| Network | Rate | Minimum | Network fee | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum (ERC20) best rate | 1 ADA = 0.204786 USDT ERC20 | 818.0428 ADA | ≈ $0.026 | moderate |
| BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) | 1 ADA = 0.204786 USDT BEP20 | 818.0428 ADA | ≈ $0.0024 | fast |
| Arbitrum One | 1 ADA = 0.204786 USDT Arbitrum | 818.0428 ADA | ≈ $0.0031 | fast |
| Optimism | 1 ADA = 0.204786 USDT Optimism | 818.0428 ADA | ≈ $0.00016 | fast |
| TON | 1 ADA = 0.204786 USDT TON | 818.0428 ADA | low | fast |
| TRON (TRC20) | 1 ADA = 0.204169 USDT TRC20 | 22,000 ADA | ≈ $2.2 | fast |
| Solana | 1 ADA = 0.204169 USDT SOL | 22,000 ADA | ≈ $0.00051 | fast |
| Polygon | 1 ADA = 0.204169 USDT Polygon | 22,000 ADA | ≈ $0.0017 | fast |
Fee and speed levels are relative and depend on network load.
USDT networks: what is the difference
Tether is issued on several blockchains. It is the same USDT, but a transfer arrives only if the address and the network match.
Ethereum (ERC20)
ERC20 is the token standard on Ethereum. It is supported by almost every wallet and exchange, but the fee (gas) is paid in ETH and grows when the network is busy.
BNB Smart Chain (BEP20)
BEP20 is the token standard on BNB Smart Chain, an Ethereum-compatible network. Addresses look like Ethereum addresses, and fees are paid in BNB and are usually low.
Arbitrum One
Arbitrum One is an Ethereum layer-2 network. Addresses use the Ethereum format, fees are paid in ETH and are much lower than on the Ethereum mainnet.
Optimism
Optimism is an Ethereum layer-2 network. Addresses use the Ethereum format and fees are paid in ETH at a fraction of mainnet cost.
TON
Tokens on TON follow the Jetton standard. Transfers are fast and cheap, the fee is paid in the network's native coin, and exchanges often require a comment (memo) with deposits.
TRON (TRC20)
TRC20 is the token standard on the TRON network. Transfers are fast, and the fee is paid in TRX or with staked energy — it is usually lower than on Ethereum, which makes TRC20 the most popular network for USDT.
Solana
Tokens on Solana follow the SPL standard. Transfers confirm in seconds with fees of a fraction of a cent paid in SOL; receiving a new token for the first time requires a small SOL deposit.
Polygon
Polygon PoS is an Ethereum-compatible network with addresses in the same 0x format. Fees are paid in POL and usually cost a fraction of a cent.
