Pre-filled ETH to USDT (TRC20) on TRON swap link

Pre-filled ETH to USDT (TRC20) on TRON swap link

Note: This link defaults to ETH (Ethereum) to USDT on TRON (TRC20). If you want to swap from a different token on Ethereum (for example USDT ERC20) or swap to a different token on TRON (for example TRX), use the From and To token selectors on the swap page before confirming.

If you want TRX instead of USDT (TRC20), keep the To network as TRON and change the To token to TRX before you confirm.

Quick checklist (30 seconds)

✅ ETH on Ethereum mainnet (for the swap amount) ✅ Extra ETH for Ethereum gas (network fee) ✅ A TRON receiving address for TRC20 (usually starts with T...) ✅ You selected USDT on TRON (TRC20) as the destination (not ERC20 or BEP20)

---

What you will get

You will send ETH on Ethereum mainnet and receive USDT (TRC20) on TRON to your TRON address (T...).

---

Before you start

TRON address format check (most common mistake)

Your Received Address must be a TRON address for USDT (TRC20):

✅ T... (TRON address for TRC20) ❌ 0x... (Ethereum, BNB Chain, EVM) ❌ bc1... / 1... / 3... (Bitcoin)

If you are using an exchange deposit address, make sure you selected TRC20 as the deposit network on the exchange side.

Ethereum gas is paid in ETH

Even though you are swapping ETH, you still need extra ETH to pay the Ethereum network fee. If you try to swap max and leave no room for gas, the transaction may fail.

Wording note: ETH and TRC20

ETH is native on Ethereum (not an ERC20 token). USDT (TRC20) is the TRON version of USDT.

Step by step ETH (Ethereum) to USDT (TRC20) on TRON

Step 1) Open ButterSwap

Go to the pre-filled swap page (recommended) or open the app:

• Prefilled: ETH to USDT (TRC20) on TRON

• App: dApp

You should see:

• From: ETH on Ethereum

• To: USDT on TRON

Now connect the From wallet first:

• Click Connect Ethereum Wallet on the swap card, or use the top right Connect EVM Wallet button, then connect the wallet that holds your ETH on Ethereum mainnet.

If your ETH balance shows as 0, check your wallet network is set to Ethereum mainnet, then reconnect.

From ETH (Ethereum) to USDT (TRON TRC20)

Step 2) Set your TRON receiving address (two valid paths)

After your Ethereum wallet is connected, set Received Address:

Option A: Connect wallet (same wallet flow) Click Connect Wallet under Received Address to connect the wallet that will receive USDT (TRC20) on TRON.

Option B: Enter Address (different wallet) Click Enter Address and paste your TRON address (T...).

✅ Valid TRON address format: T... ❌ Do not use: 0x... (EVM), bc1... / 1... / 3... (Bitcoin)

Received Address options (Connect Wallet or Enter Address)

Step 3) Enter amount and review route and fees

Enter the amount of ETH you want to swap.

Review the Best Route panel (route steps and estimated receive). Check the fee and ETA area.

Step 4) Confirm and complete the flow

Click Confirm to open the swap summary popup. Confirm the details, then follow your wallet prompts to sign and submit.

Before you sign, double-check in the popup:

• To network: TRON

• To token: USDT (TRC20)

• Received Address: your intended T... address

Confirm swap popup

Fees and timing

• Ethereum network fee (gas)

  Paid in ETH on Ethereum mainnet. Keep extra ETH available for gas.

• Route and swap fees

  Shown in the route and in the confirm summary before you approve.

• How long does it take?

  Timing depends on Ethereum network conditions and routing execution. Track progress in History and verify via ButterSwap Explorer if available.

Common issues (quick fixes)

• I pasted a 0x address and it will not work

  That is an EVM address, not TRON. For USDT (TRC20), your receiving address must start with T....

• My ETH balance shows 0 after connecting

  You are likely on the wrong network or account. Switch your wallet to Ethereum mainnet, then reconnect.

• Confirm is disabled or the popup does not appear

  Most common causes:

  1. From wallet not connected (Step 1)

  2. Received Address not set (Step 2)

  3. Not enough ETH left for gas

  4. Amount too small for the route or fees shown

• I expected USDT on Ethereum but I received USDT (TRC20)

  This guide swaps to TRON USDT (TRC20). If you want USDT on Ethereum (ERC20), change the To network and token before confirming.

• I used an exchange TRON deposit address but funds are not credited

  Double-check the exchange deposit network is TRC20. Then track status in History or use the explorer link from the swap details screen if available.
