Selling USDT — the Full Narrative

Zero: before the deal starts

Before money moves, the landscape matters. Open a tracker in a separate tab — not to hunt for "the best rate," but to know the mid-market figure at the moment the quote appears. Without that reference, the spread is invisible. Also: decide your network before anything else. TRC20 is the default for a reason — but only if both sides agree.

• Open a mid-market tracker in a separate tab
• Decide the network: TRC20 by default
• Agree roughly what you will sell and in what currency

One: the quote arrives

You tell the service what you want. The reply contains the three numbers that define the deal: the rate, the converted fiat amount, and the expiry window. The expiry is not a threat — it is the clock that limits the period during which the rate is fixed. At this point you either accept or do not. If you accept, the service generates a one-time address for your deal. You will never use this address twice.

Two: the send

Now you are in your own wallet. The address has been pasted; the amount has been entered. The pause before "confirm" is the cheapest safety habit in crypto. Look at the fee estimate. Look at the network selector. Look at the first and last characters of the address. Three glances, five seconds, and the two most common ways a deal dies are removed.

Three: the wait and the verify

After confirmation, the wallet shows a hash. Copy it. Open an explorer and watch the status tick from pending toward confirmed. When it lands on confirmed, screen it. Send the screen. The screen says more than any sentence you could type, because it shows what the service will check anyway — and it shows you are checking it too.

Once confirmed and acknowledged, the fiat leg starts. Its speed depends on the banking corridor — not on blockchain time. The walkthrough ends here because the crypto half is closed. The fiat half is a waiting room you have already paid for.
