USDT TRC-20 vs ERC-20
Same ticker. Two ledgers. The quote names one of them — your wallet must send on that one.
TRC-20 USDT lives on Tron (addresses start with T). ERC-20 USDT lives on Ethereum (0x). Sending Tron USDT to an Ethereum deposit — or the reverse — is one of the most common ways to lose a Tether transfer. Swap.bz cannot treat them as interchangeable.
Tron is usually cheaper and faster. Ethereum pays L1 gas, which can dwarf the 0.5% service fee on small sizes. Solana USDT is a third option when the widget lists it. Always read the network label next to USDT, not the icon.
If you withdraw USDT from an exchange, that withdrawal screen also names a network. It must match the Swap.bz send network exactly.

What to do
- 1.In the wallet or exchange, note whether the USDT is Tron, Ethereum, or Solana.
- 2.On Swap.bz, select that same USDT network on the send side.
- 3.Send only that USDT to the deposit address shown — no USDC, no native TRX/ETH as a substitute.
- 4.If you already sent the wrong network, keep the txid and order ID for Support. Recovery is not guaranteed.
Before you send
A T-address will not collect ERC-20 USDT. An 0x deposit will not collect TRC-20.
USDT and USDC are different tokens on every chain.
Use the address checker for format, then still match the quote network.
