How to convert Cardano to Tether
- Connect a Cardano wallet such as Eternl or Lace that holds your ADA, or turn on Swap from external wallet to pay to a deposit address from any wallet or exchange.
- Enter how much ADA to swap and the Ethereum address that receives the USDT, from any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby.
- Confirm. Once the deposit confirms on Cardano, the USDT is sent to your address on Ethereum; if the swap can't be filled, the ADA is refunded.
About the ADA → USDT swap
ADA is sent on Cardano and USDT arrives on Ethereum, so this swap also changes network. You pay ADA gas on Cardano for the deposit and nothing on Ethereum to receive, though you will need some ETH there later to move the USDT.
Swapping ADA to USDT converts a volatile asset into a dollar-pegged stablecoin, a common way to lock in a price or step out of market swings without off-ramping to a bank account.

What to know before swapping Cardano for Tether
USDT is sent on Ethereum, so you need any EVM wallet such as MetaMask or Rabby. Use an address you control; if you send to an exchange, check that it accepts USDT on Ethereum, as some exchanges don't credit deposits that come from a smart contract.
NEAR Intents' latest quote estimated about 34 seconds for this route. Slower source chains take longer because the deposit needs more confirmations.
1 ADA ≈ 0.242 USDT at current market prices ($0.2418 per ADA, $0.9992 per USDT).
In our latest measurement a ADA → USDT swap cost 0% at $1k and 0% at $10k below the market price, and the largest single swap was up to $79k with under 1% price impact. That is price impact only: the app fee, withdrawal fee and network gas come on top, and the widget's quote includes all but the gas.
No. Price impact is how far below the market price your quote is because of its size: a bigger swap goes deeper into solvers' liquidity. It is already in the amount the widget shows; a $10k ADA → USDT swap gave up 0% in our latest measurement. Slippage is how much the result may still move between that quote and the moment the swap settles. The widget accepts up to 1% by default (Max slippage in its settings): the minimum you receive is the quote minus 1%, and if solvers can't deliver at least that, the swap doesn't happen and your funds are refunded.
