Swapping Tether for Solana: what you need to know
If you hold USDT BEP20 and want Solana, you don’t need an exchange account. At ROVEN exchange the swap takes a few minutes: you see the final amount in advance, and an operator checks every order by hand.
USDT BEP20 is the Tether stablecoin on BNB Smart Chain, with fast and cheap transfers. Solana (SOL) is a high-speed blockchain with sub-cent fees, popular in DeFi and NFTs.
Why swap USDT BEP20 for SOL
A stablecoin is a handy way to hold dollars, but to benefit from market growth or use the Solana network you need SOL itself. With SOL you get access to the apps, staking and tokens of the Solana network.
Networks and addresses
| You send USDT BEP20 | You receive SOL | |

What to watch out for
- Send USDT on BNB Smart Chain (BEP20), not Ethereum — the addresses look identical.
- Phantom, Solflare or any Solana wallet works for receiving SOL.
- To send USDT your wallet needs some BNB to pay the network fee.
- Send the exact amount from the order and do it within 30 minutes, while the locked rate is valid.
