Swap SOL → USDT now

Best-rate quotes, no account, and near-instant settlement.

Swap now

What you’ll need (1 minute)

A wallet with SOL you can send (Phantom, Backpack, Solflare, Ledger/Trezor, etc.)
Your USDT receiving address on your chosen network (e.g., TRC20 or SPL)
Enough SOL to cover the swap amount plus a tiny network fee

Tip: If your wallet hasn’t received USDT (SPL) before, it may create an “associated token account” the first time—this uses a very small amount of SOL.

How to convert SOL to USDT without KYC (step‑by‑step)

Select SOL → USDT on Swapcherry.
Pick your destination USDT network (TRC20, ERC20, Solana, Polygon, or TON).
Paste your USDT address and review the live quote.
Confirm to get a one‑time SOL deposit address, then send SOL.
After confirmations, receive USDT automatically to your wallet.

Best USDT network for SOL → USDT (TRC20 vs ERC20 vs SPL)

Choose based on how you plan to use or move USDT next:

Network	Fees	Speed	Best for	Address format
TRC20 (Tron)	Very low	Fast	Frequent, low‑cost transfers	Starts with `T…`
ERC20 (Ethereum)	Higher when busy	Medium‑Fast	Broad Ethereum DeFi compatibility	Starts with `0x…`
Solana (SPL)	Very low	Ultra‑fast	Cheap, rapid settlement	Base58 (no `0x`)
Polygon	Low	Fast	EVM dApps & bridges	Starts with `0x…`
TON	Low	Fast	TON ecosystem usage	Starts with `UQ…`/`EQ…`

Recommendation: If fees and speed are top priority, TRC20/Solana/Polygon are excellent. If you need Ethereum‑native DeFi access, choose ERC20.

Solana‑specific notes (read this!)

Associated token account (ATA): The first time your wallet receives USDT (SPL), it may create an ATA. This costs a tiny amount of SOL and happens automatically in modern wallets.
Address format: Solana addresses are Base58, not 0x. Double‑check you’re pasting an SPL address when choosing the Solana network.
Explorers: If you’re checking status, use a Solana explorer (e.g., Solscan/SolanaFM) for the SOL leg and the destination chain’s explorer for USDT.

What “no KYC” means here

No account creation or ID upload for standard swaps.
Funds remain in your wallet until you confirm the send.
Automated systems screen transactions for risk. In rare cases, an order may pause or refund under our AML policy. See also our privacy and terms.

Fees, timing, and limits (plain‑English)

Fees: Service and network fees are shown upfront in your quote.
Confirmations: Swap execution starts after required confirmations on the sending chain (Solana is typically very fast).
Timing: Most swaps complete shortly after confirmations; network congestion on the destination chain can add delay.
Limits: Minimums and maximums are dynamic and shown in the widget.

Privacy and anonymity: realistic expectations

“No KYC” improves convenience and reduces data exposure, but on‑chain activity is still public. Aim for lower linkability rather than “perfect anonymity.”

Wallets are pseudonymous. Analysts cluster addresses via heuristics (timing, common ownership, reuse).
Cross‑chain swaps create two visible legs (source → service deposit, service → your destination). Observers may correlate by timing and amount.
Reuse of the same destination address across multiple swaps increases linkability.
Moving funds to exchanges can associate activity with your identity if the exchange has KYC.

Anonymity checklist (actionable)

Use a fresh receiving address whenever possible (especially on ERC20/SPL/Polygon).
Avoid sending from or to addresses that have clear identity trails (e.g., exchange withdrawals directly to a public ENS name).
If privacy is critical, split large amounts into multiple smaller swaps spaced over time.
Prefer self‑custody wallets; exchange wallets may tag your deposits/withdrawals.
Verify you’re on the correct site (HTTPS, domain spelling), and confirm the destination address in your wallet each time.
Keep a small SOL buffer for fees and token account creation; running out mid‑flow can leak intent (failed/partial txs).
Don’t post or share transaction hashes publicly if you care about linkability.

Rate types: fixed vs floating (which to choose?)

Fixed rate: You lock a quote for a short window. Pros: price certainty. Cons: timer pressure; sending late can require a new quote or price adjustment.
Floating rate: You get the market rate at execution. Pros: no timer stress, simpler flow. Cons: final received amount can vary with market moves.

Practical rule: If you need exact amounts (e.g., paying a bill), use fixed. If you value simplicity and speed, floating is fine.

Quotes, slippage, and timing

Quotes reflect current liquidity and spreads. Volatile markets can change your receivable amount quickly.
If the quote timer expires before your SOL transaction confirms, generate a new quote to avoid delays.
Sudden volatility can trigger slippage protections; your order may be recalculated or safely rejected with refund flow.

Paying the invoice: exact, partial, overpayments

Exact amount (recommended): Send the amount shown in the quote. Fastest settlement, least manual review.
Underpayment: Small shortfalls may auto‑recalculate; large ones can pause for manual review or refund.
Overpayment: Excess can be handled via adjusted payout or refund, depending on size and settings.

Provide the transaction hash if support is needed—it speeds up resolution.

Refunds: how they work

Refunds, when applicable, are typically sent back on the chain they were received from (here: Solana).
Network fees are deducted; extreme volatility or liquidity changes can affect refund timing.
High‑risk patterns (e.g., sanctioned sources) may be rejected per AML; in rare cases, compliance info could be required to proceed or refund.

Large swaps (good practice)

Consider splitting large amounts into several smaller swaps to reduce impact risk and linkability.
Avoid peak volatility windows (major announcements, sudden market moves).
Test with a small trial swap to confirm address, network, and timing, then proceed with the remainder.

Network choice: quick decision guide

You need the broadest DeFi access → ERC20.
You’ll move funds often and cheaply → TRC20 or Solana.
You use EVM chains but want low fees → Polygon.
You’re on TON apps → TON.
Unsure → Pick the network where you’ll actually spend next; avoid unnecessary bridges.

Pro tips from support

Match your address to the selected network (TRC20 vs ERC20 vs SPL, etc.).
Send the exact quoted amount to avoid recalculations or delays.
If the quote expires, just generate a new one—no penalty.
Self‑custody wallets usually broadcast faster than exchange wallets.
If your wallet doesn’t display USDT (SPL) after receiving, add/import the token in your wallet to reveal the balance.

Common mistakes to avoid

Pasting an ERC20/TRC20 address while choosing the Solana (SPL) network (or vice versa)
Trying to use an 0x… address for Solana (SPL) USDT
Forgetting you may need a tiny amount of SOL for an initial USDT (SPL) token account
Sending after the quote timer expires

Example: SOL → USDT (TRC20) for low transfer fees

You hold 20 SOL in Phantom.
You want USDT on TRC20 to keep future transfers cheap.
In the widget, choose SOL → USDT (TRC20).
Paste your TRC20 address (starts with T…), review your live quote, and send SOL to the provided deposit address.
After confirmations, receive USDT (TRC20) in your Tron wallet.

Troubleshooting

USDT (SPL) not showing in wallet: Import or add the USDT token in your Solana wallet. Some wallets hide tokens until you add them.
Wrong amount sent: Contact support with your transaction hash. Small differences may auto‑recalculate; bigger ones can require manual review.
Quote expired: Create a fresh quote and resend within the time window.
No USDT received: Check Solana confirmations, then verify on the destination chain’s explorer that the USDT transfer completed.
Wrong network: Funds sent to an incompatible address are often unrecoverable—always verify first.

FAQ
