Who can execute this swap
NEAR Intents, Chainflip and Flashnet can each quote ETH to USDT (Ethereum). Which of them responds at a given moment depends on liquidity; the swap box lists every protocol that does, ranked by what you receive after fees.

About this route
What ETH to USDT (Ethereum) actually does
Both assets are on Ethereum mainnet: native ETH in, ERC-20 USDT (contract 0xdAC1…1ec7) out.
This is the classic way to lock in the dollar value of ETH. If you plan to send the USDT onward, consider receiving it on Tron (TRC-20) instead: the swap box quotes ETH to TRC-20 USDT directly, and later transfers on Tron cost far less than on Ethereum.

Before you send
Three checks that prevent most mistakes
The receiving address
Use an Ethereum mainnet 0x address you control. Keep a little ETH there to pay gas when you move the USDT.
The refund address
The refund address must be an Ethereum address that can receive ETH.
Support will never ask for a seed phrase or private key. TorrentSwap only ever needs public addresses.
FAQ
ETH to USDT (Ethereum): common questions
Should I receive USDT on Ethereum or Tron?
Both hold the same value. ERC-20 USDT is widely supported by Ethereum apps; TRC-20 USDT is cheaper to send afterwards. Pick the network your destination (an exchange, a wallet, a payee) expects.
Why is the amount a little under the market price?
Every quote already includes Ethereum network fees, the protocol fee, price impact and the TorrentSwap fee, so it is what actually arrives, not a headline rate.
How long does ETH to USDT (Ethereum) take?
Typically about 1–3 min from sending your deposit to the payout. NEAR Intents: about 1–3 min; Chainflip: about 1–3 min; Flashnet: about 1–3 min. The time is driven mostly by how long Ethereum takes to confirm the deposit, and each live quote shows that protocol's own estimate.
What fees do I pay to swap ETH to USDT (Ethereum)?
The platform fee, the executing protocol's fee and network fees are all already included in every quote, so the amount you see is what you should receive, and a protected minimum applies: if a protocol cannot deliver at least that, it refunds your deposit instead. Your own wallet charges the normal network fee to send the deposit.
Do I need an account or KYC to swap ETH to USDT (Ethereum)?
No. There is nothing to sign up for and no email to give — you only enter the receiving address and a refund address. The protocols that execute swaps can apply their own compliance screening, for example against sanctioned addresses.
What happens if the swap cannot complete?
If a protocol cannot fill your swap within the protected minimum, it refunds the deposit to your refund address. The refund address must be an Ethereum address that can receive ETH.
