Swap ETH from Ethereum to USDT on Solana

Swap ETH from Ethereum to USDT on Solana. You send native ether on Ethereum and you receive Tether USDT on Solana, in Phantom or Solflare.

The marker 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE means the gas coin, so there is no ERC-20 approval for the asset you send. Etherscan shows a native transfer on chain id 1. Gas is ETH and blocks are about 12 seconds. Tether's SPL mint is Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB, which you match on Solscan. Solana does not use ERC-20 approvals. Keep SOL in the receiving wallet or the USDT cannot move.

Diagram for Swap ETH from Ethereum to USDT on Solana — ETH leaves Ethereum. USDT is what can arrive on Solana.

Ether leaves without an approval

This page spends native ETH, the same coin that pays the Ethereum fee. It will not pull WETH, USDC, or DAI. Leave enough ETH for the amount and for gas, or the transaction cannot be mined. The marker 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE is not a contract page you approve on Etherscan. A same-chain buy of USDT never shows up in a Solana wallet.

Tether's SPL mint in Phantom

The payout is Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB, Tether on Solana, not Circle USDC and not Ethereum USDT. Solscan is the explorer. Phantom or Solflare displays the mint. There is no approval step on that side. USDT does not pay Solana fees, so a destination with zero SOL will hold the dollars and still be unable to send them.

Not the page for USDC, SOL, or WETH

Circle USDC and SOL are different routes. If the wallet holds WETH instead of native ETH, this page is the wrong tool until you unwrap or switch routes. If you only needed Tether on Ethereum, do not bridge. Solana is a different account model from the wallet that signs on chain id 1. The quote does not freeze a USDT amount or a clock.

ETH gas now, SOL gas later

You pay ETH on the way out. You pay SOL after the USDT arrives, when you want to move it. Those fees are not interchangeable. Read the minimum USDT on the quote before you sign. A block near 12 seconds is only Ethereum's pace. It is not a promise that Solscan already shows the mint. Ignore destination addresses that arrive in a chat.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best way to swap ETH from Ethereum to USDT on Solana?

The marker 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE means the gas coin, so there is no ERC-20 approval for the asset you send. Etherscan shows a native transfer on chain id 1.

Is native ETH the same button as WETH for this Solana payout?

No. This page only spends the gas coin, marked 0xEeeeeEeeeEeEeeEeEeEeeEEEeeeeEeeeeeeeEEeE. WETH is a separate contract and a separate route. Etherscan will show a native ETH transfer, not an ERC-20 approval. The USDT you receive is Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB on Solscan, in Phantom or Solflare.

Why can I see USDT on Solscan but not send it?

The mint Es9vMFrzaCERmJfrF4H2FYD4KCoNkY11McCe8BenwNYB does not pay fees. Phantom or Solflare needs native SOL in that same wallet. Solana has no ERC-20 approval to fall back on. The ETH you spent on Ethereum stays on Ethereum. Add SOL, then the Tether balance can move. This page does not send that SOL for you.

Does the quote lock how much USDT I receive?

No. Ether can move while chain id 1 confirms, and the bridge has its own wait on top of the roughly 12 second block. Judge the minimum USDT, not the first estimate. If that floor is too low, refresh or leave. Nothing here promises a fill or a price.
