Tunnel in 3 steps
-
Choose how much DCR to send and paste the Tether address that should receive funds on TRC-20 on Tron.
-
Open the order to freeze the quote and reveal a one-time deposit destination.
-
Broadcast DCR to that destination. Once confirmations clear, USDT is pushed to your payout wallet.
Before you broadcast
- Deposits on Decred mainnet follow that chain's confirmation times.
- Network congestion can occasionally delay inclusion — check status if stuck.
- Send only DCR on Decred mainnet to the address on your order page.
- Still waiting on USDT? Give the wallet a few minutes to sync, then share your Exchange ID with support if the order already lists a payout hash.
Decred
Always match DCR on Decred mainnet when you send or receive — wrong-network transfers may not be credited.
Before you send
Use a wallet that supports Decred mainnet.
Verify the deposit network on your order page matches your wallet.
Tether — dollar-pegged stablecoin
USDT tracks the US dollar and is widely used for trading and transfers — always match the correct chain (TRC-20, ERC-20, etc.).
Receiving USDT on the correct chain
Your wallet must support the exact USDT network listed on the order.
If funds were sent on the wrong chain, recovery may not be possible — verify before you send.
When will USDT arrive?
Most TRC-20 payouts land within minutes once your deposit confirms.
- Check the order page for a payout transaction hash before opening a support ticket.
- Refresh or resync your wallet if the balance has not updated after a few minutes.
- Tron confirmations are typically much faster than Bitcoin or Ethereum mainnet.
Why traders swap into USDT
USDT offers dollar-like stability without leaving crypto — useful between trades or during volatile markets.
TRC-20 USDT on Tron keeps transfer fees low, making it a common destination after swapping from BTC, ETH, or alt L1s.
