USDT (Tether) Escrow Service

USDT is the settlement currency of OTC desks, Telegram deals and account marketplaces, and the coin most requested by online vendors. Our USDT escrow service holds Tether on the TRC20 (Tron) or ERC20 (Ethereum) network until delivery is confirmed, so neither side has to trust a stranger.

Start an Escrow Transaction How It Works

Stablecoin escrow means no volatility

Because USDT tracks the US dollar, the amount agreed is the amount delivered: no price swings while goods are in transit. That makes Tether escrow the preferred choice for deals that take days to complete, like development work or account transfers.

TRC20 and ERC20 supported

We support USDT on Tron (TRC20) for near-zero network fees and on Ethereum (ERC20) for wallets that require it. You choose the network when opening the transaction, and the deposit address we assign matches it.

Built for OTC and P2P trades

Settling an over-the-counter trade with a counterparty you met in a group chat? Our escrow holds the USDT while the fiat leg or the asset transfer completes, with a human dispute process if anything stalls.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the safest way to do a P2P USDT trade?

Use a third-party escrow: the USDT is locked with a neutral service while the other leg of the trade settles. Never release stablecoins first on the promise that payment is "on the way".

Which USDT network should I use for escrow?

TRC20 has network fees of a few cents and is the default for most OTC deals. ERC20 costs more in gas but works with Ethereum-native wallets. We support both.

Who pays the USDT escrow fee?

By default the buyer adds the flat 1% fee to the deposit, so the seller receives the full agreed amount.
