Ethereum to Tether Solana Exchange Rates

Using the supplied intervals, Ethereum requires 12 × 12 seconds = 144 seconds, and Solana requires 32 × 0.4 seconds = 12.8 seconds. If these confirmation windows occur sequentially, the confirmation-only total is 156.8 seconds, or 2 minutes 36.8 seconds. The supplied typical settlement ranges instead sum to 7–14 minutes: 5–10 minutes for the deposit and 2–4 minutes for the payout. Neither estimate guarantees completion; transaction inclusion, missed slots, routing and processing affect actual timing.

ETH is native Ethereum currency, not an ERC-20 token. The deposit sender pays gas in ETH: fee = gas used × (base fee + effective priority fee), with 21,000 gas for a plain ETH transfer to an externally owned account; contract interactions have additional, variable gas costs. Solana payout transaction fees are paid in SOL by the transaction's fee payer: a standard base fee of 5,000 lamports (0.000005 SOL) per signature plus optional compute-unit priority fees. Creating a missing recipient USDT token account also requires a rent-exempt SOL deposit, separate from transaction fees. Any routing or service charges are provider-dependent and separate from these network costs.
