## Getting native CRO on Cronos POS with USDT ERC20

CRO is the coin of the Cronos ecosystem connected to Crypto.com. On GhostSwap it is native CRO on Cronos POS, the proof-of-stake chain called Crypto.org Chain until October 2023, where holders delegate CRO to validators. This pair turns Tether on Ethereum into that native CRO and pays it to your cro1 address, with no account.

Ethereum usually confirms the USDT deposit in about 2–5 minutes. Cronos POS produces a block every few seconds, so the payout follows soon after. The CRO name also appears on the Cronos EVM chain and as an ERC-20 token on Ethereum, both with 0x addresses, and this pair pays neither. Before a large swap, check the live minimum and maximum in the exchange box.

### Tips

- Your receive address must begin with cro1. Set Keplr to the Cronos POS network, or use a Ledger, and copy that address. MetaMask only gives 0x addresses, which are rejected for this payout.
- The memo field is for exchange deposits only. If the cro1 address belongs to an exchange account, copy the Payment ID it shows for CRO. Leave the field blank for Keplr or a Ledger.
- Send USDT ERC20 from an Ethereum wallet you control, with ETH for gas, and use that 0x address for refunds.

### Can I swap USDT to CRO with no account?

Yes. GhostSwap asks for no sign-up, email or ID on standard swaps. Enter your cro1 address, add a Payment ID only if an exchange gave you one, check the floating rate and send the USDT.

### Can I stake the CRO after it arrives?

Yes. Native CRO on Cronos POS can be delegated to a validator from Keplr or with a Ledger. Unstaking takes several weeks, so keep some CRO unstaked for fees and transfers.

## FAQ

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

When you exchange Tether (ERC20) to Cronos on GhostSwap, the process typically takes 2–5 minutes for your USDT to confirm on the Ethereum (ERC-20) network. Once confirmed, your Cronos is sent to your wallet and arrives within a few minutes on Cronos. Most USDT to CRO swaps are paid out within 10–25 minutes after you send; network congestion can occasionally add time, and the status page shows each step.

### Do I need KYC or an account to exchange USDT to CRO?

No. GhostSwap is a non-custodial, no-KYC exchange. You can convert Tether (ERC20) to Cronos without creating an account, uploading ID documents, or providing any personal information. Just enter your Cronos wallet address, send your USDT, and receive your CRO — that's it.

### What are the fees for converting Tether (ERC20) to Cronos?

GhostSwap charges a small service fee that's already included in the exchange rate you see — there are no hidden fees. On top of that, USDT on Ethereum requires ETH gas fees. The swap box shows the estimated amount of CRO after fees before you send. The rate floats, so the final amount can differ slightly if the market moves before your deposit confirms.

### What wallet should I use to receive CRO?

To receive Cronos from your swap, we recommend using Crypto.com DeFi Wallet or Trust Wallet. Make sure your wallet supports the Cronos network before starting the exchange. Double-check your CRO address before confirming — cryptocurrency transactions cannot be reversed.

### Can I track my USDT to CRO swap?

Yes. After initiating your swap, GhostSwap provides a transaction status page where you can monitor progress in real-time. You can also track your USDT payment on Etherscan (https://etherscan.io) and your incoming CRO on the Cronos explorer.

### Is it safe to exchange USDT for CRO on GhostSwap?

Yes. GhostSwap is a non-custodial exchange, which means we never hold your funds or private keys. Your Tether (ERC20) is converted and sent directly to your Cronos wallet address. Standard swaps need no account, email or ID, and all swaps run over encrypted connections.

### Why swap USDT to CRO?

Converting Tether (ERC20) to Cronos moves dollar-pegged funds into Cronos. Unlike a stablecoin, its price moves with the market. GhostSwap needs no account on a centralized exchange and no KYC.

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

In the rare case of a failed exchange, your USDT is refunded to the address you entered as the sender address. If something looks stuck, contact support with your swap ID from the status page. Most problems are caused by sending a different amount than shown or using an address on the wrong network.
