A lot of first swaps fail before the swap even starts.
Not because the DEX is broken.
Because “USDT” was treated as one asset.
TRC20 USDT lives on TRON.
ERC20 USDT lives on Ethereum.
USDT on TON is issued on TON.
Same ticker. Different networks. A regular send cannot hop the ledger for you.
What to do instead:
Identify the network first.
Confirm the destination wants that version.
If you need a different chain, you need a cross-chain route.
STON.fi is one place that flow exists for supported pairs: you choose source network/asset and destination network/asset, then read the quote before you sign. Omniston is the layer coordinating that cross-chain execution. It is built around the quoted result, not “send a wrapped IOU and hope.”
Still check live. Support can change. No quote = don’t invent a route.
Practical rule I use: ticker for conversation, network for money.
