How the swap works
-
Type the USDT amount and paste your Cardano payout address on Cardano mainnet.
-
Press Exchange to open the live quote and the deposit address for this order.
-
Broadcast USDT to that deposit. After the required confirmations, ADA is sent to your wallet.
Check these before you send
- TRC-20 USDT confirms quickly on Tron — usually within a minute or two.
- Never send USDT on the wrong network. TRC-20, ERC-20, and other variants are not interchangeable.
- Keep a small TRX balance in your wallet to pay Tron energy/bandwidth for TRC-20 sends.
- If ADA has not appeared yet, wait a few minutes and refresh the wallet. When the order already shows a payout tx, contact support with your order ID.
Tether — USD-pegged stablecoin
USDT tracks the US dollar and is widely used for trading and transfers — always pick the chain listed on the order (TRC-20, ERC-20, and others are not the same).
USDT network mismatch
The most common error is sending ERC-20 USDT to a TRC-20 address or vice versa.
Double-check the network badge on your order before sending.
Cardano — research-driven layer-1
ADA is the native token of Cardano — a proof-of-stake network focused on security and formal verification.
ADA payout delays
Resync your Cardano wallet if the order shows a sent transaction but balance is unchanged.
When will ADA arrive?
Cardano block times are around 20 seconds — payouts typically follow within several blocks.
- Use a Shelley-era Cardano address compatible with your wallet.
- Check a Cardano explorer with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Allow a few extra minutes if your wallet is still syncing the latest epoch.

Frequently asked questions
Does USDT to ADA require KYC or an account?
No. PeakSwap does not ask for a profile, ID documents, or a hosted balance for Tether to Cardano.
How long until ADA arrives?
Many orders finish in a few minutes. TRC-20 on Tron deposit confirmations and Cardano mainnet payout time set the wait.
Do you hold USDT or ADA for me?
No. You send USDT from a wallet you control and ADA is paid to the address you provide — PeakSwap does not keep a user wallet.
What if I send USDT on the wrong chain?
Use TRC-20 on Tron exactly as shown on the order. A wrong-network send may not be credited — read the swap safety notes first.
