Exchange in 3 steps
-
Set the USDT amount and paste your Ethereum (Base) payout address on Base mainnet.
-
Create the order to lock the quote and see the deposit address.
-
Send USDT to that deposit. After confirmations, ETH is paid to your wallet.
Before you broadcast
- ERC-20 USDT follows Ethereum confirmation times.
- Send USDT on Ethereum mainnet only — not Tron TRC-20.
- Leave ETH in your wallet for gas when sending ERC-20 USDT.
- ETH not visible yet? Wait a few minutes, resync your wallet, then contact support with your order ID if the payout tx is already listed.
Tether — dollar-pegged stablecoin
USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) is widely used in DeFi — send only on Ethereum mainnet.
USDT on Ethereum mainnet
Use an ERC-20 compatible Ethereum address. TRC-20 USDT is a different asset.
ETH on Base — Coinbase L2
Native ETH on Base — Ethereum's value on Coinbase's L2 with low fees, fast finality, and growing on-chain activity.
Base ETH not received?
Confirm your wallet is on Base mainnet and fully synced — not Ethereum L1.
Base ETH payout tips
- Payouts go to Base — verify your wallet network is Base (chain ID 8453).
- Check Basescan with the payout tx hash from your order page.
- Bridging to Ethereum L1 is a separate step after you receive ETH on Base.

Frequently asked questions
Is identity verification required to trade USDT for ETH?
No. HideSwap operates as an anonymous no-KYC crypto exchange — no profile, no ID upload, and no funded account for Tether → Ethereum (Base).
How long is a USDT → ETH order?
Typical completion is a few minutes. ERC-20 on Ethereum and Base mainnet confirmation times set the pace.
Do you custody USDT or ETH?
No. You send USDT yourself and ETH is paid to the address you enter — HideSwap does not keep a wallet balance for you.
What if I pick the wrong USDT network?
Match the network printed on the order (ERC-20 on Ethereum). A mismatch can strand the deposit — check the swap safety notes first.
