Tether ERC-20 to Tether TRC-20 Exchange Rates

Using the supplied block times, Ethereum requires 12 × 12 s = 144 s (2 min 24 s), and Tron requires 19 × 3 s = 57 s, totaling 201 s (3 min 21 s) for sequential confirmation waits. The supplied typical settlement ranges of 5–10 min on Ethereum and 3–7 min on Tron sum to 8–17 min if those stages occur sequentially. These are timing estimates, not guarantees; transaction inclusion, missed blocks and route processing affect actual completion time.

The Ethereum deposit executes an ERC-20 contract transfer: its fee is gas used multiplied by the effective gas price, comprising the base fee plus effective priority fee, paid in ETH. The Tron payout consumes Energy for contract execution and Bandwidth for transaction data; available resources cover usage, while resource shortfalls require burning TRX at current network rates. The depositor normally pays Ethereum gas, while the payout sender covers Tron resources and may pass that cost through in the route quote. Provider or routing charges are separate from network fees; the supplied data does not establish a fixed fee amount.
