## Chainlink to Tether: an ERC-20 to ERC-20 swap on Ethereum

LINK to USDT ERC20 swaps Chainlink into Tether without leaving Ethereum. Node operators paid in LINK and holders who want a fixed dollar amount use it to step out of a volatile token while keeping the same wallet. Both are tokens on Ethereum mainnet, so one 0x address can hold the LINK before the swap and the USDT after it. No account is needed.

The LINK deposit confirms in about 2 to 5 minutes and the USDT payout is another Ethereum transaction, so most swaps finish in 10 to 25 minutes. In a standard wallet neither token pays its own gas: the sending wallet needs ETH for the LINK transfer, and you will need ETH again to move the USDT. Unlike a DEX trade, there is no token approval to sign; you send LINK to the deposit address with a plain transfer.

### Tips

- Paste your Ethereum address (0x plus 40 hex characters); it can be the same wallet you send the LINK from.
- Check that your LINK sits on Ethereum. LINK on BNB Smart Chain is listed as its own coin, and LINK held on any other network cannot be sent to this deposit address.
- Enter the 0x address you send from as the sender address, so a refund returns to that wallet.

### Can I sell LINK for USDT without KYC?

Yes. A standard swap involves no sign-up, email or ID. Paste your Ethereum address, check the floating rate shown and send the LINK; if the swap cannot complete, the LINK is refunded to your sender address.

### Could the USDT be paid on Tron instead?

Yes. Select USDT TRC20 in the receive box and enter a Tron address starting with T. Moving USDT on Tron is paid in TRX rather than ETH, so it suits you if you plan to use the Tron network.

## FAQ

### How long does it take to swap LINK to USDT on GhostSwap?

Most LINK to USDT swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes: the LINK deposit needs about 2–5 minutes to confirm on Ethereum, then the USDT is sent to your wallet, and Ethereum confirms the payout in about 2–5 minutes.

### How much is 1 LINK in USDT?

1 LINK is worth about 13.0775 USDT at the market rate, before fees (market prices, 8 Oct 2026). GhostSwap's quote in the exchange box already includes the service fee and the USDT network fee. The minimum for this pair is about 2.3 LINK. The Ethereum network fee for sending the LINK is paid separately, in ETH. The rate floats with the market until your LINK deposit confirms.

### Can I send LINK straight to my USDT address?

Only as LINK. LINK and USDT both live on Ethereum and use the same kind of address, so LINK sent to your USDT address arrives as LINK, not USDT. To get USDT, send the LINK to the one-time deposit address GhostSwap shows, and the USDT is paid to the Ethereum address you enter.

### What wallet and address do I need to receive USDT?

Use an Ethereum address from a wallet you control, such as MetaMask, Rabby or a Ledger. The address starts with 0x followed by 40 hexadecimal characters. Sending USDT to an address on another network can lose the coins. GhostSwap never holds your funds: the USDT is sent straight to the address you enter.

### What happens if my LINK to USDT exchange fails?

If a swap cannot be completed, the LINK is refunded to the Ethereum address you entered as the sender address.
