USDT on TON and TRC-20: one balance, no conversion

USDT on TON (jetton) and USDT TRC-20 are not two currencies in IMBA Wallet. They share one USDT account. You choose a network only to deposit or withdraw. There is no “convert TON USDT to TRC-20” action.

How to move USDT from TON to TRC-20

Automatically: deposit on one network, withdraw on the other. Treasury rebalances behind the scenes. You do not swap USDT for USDT on the Convert screen.

1. Top up → USDT → TON chip. Copy the address. Send USDT on TON from an exchange.
2. Wait until it credits the USDT balance (not Gram).
3. Withdraw → USDT → TRC-20. Enter a Tron address.

The reverse path is the same: TRC-20 in, TON out.

Do not mix addresses. ERC-20, BEP-20, or native TON to the wrong USDT address can be unrecoverable. Gram sent to a USDT jetton address is not credited as USDT.

What this is not

Convert changes Gram ↔ USDT or, when Bitcoin is available, BTC ↔ USDT. It does not move USDT between TON and Tron. See Gram, USDT, and Bitcoin conversion.
