Quick path (USDT → XMR on Domestic Monero)
- Confirm your USDT is ERC-20 on Ethereum — wrong-chain sends do not match offers.
- Open only @domestic_monero_bot. Verify the handle.
- Register wallets on Profile when a gate asks.
- Browse offers — accept a SELL offer if you are the Buyer (you pay USDT).
- Wait for seller to stake XMR (Created → Staked).
- Send USDT on-chain; submit the TX hash as payment proof.
- Wait for 20 confirmations on USDT (ERC-20; ~4 min typical). Watch trade deadlines.
- Tap Receive XMR with your trade share saved offline.
Chips: Created → Staked → Payment pending → Verifying → Sending → Done / Cancelled.
Why ERC-20 matters
Domestic Monero lists USDT as ERC-20 on Ethereum mainnet only. Searchers often hold TRC-20 USDT from other products. That asset is not a supported payment rail here. If your stack is TRC-20, you need a different hop first — or a different path entirely. Bounds: BTC or USDT → XMR without an exchange account.
