Frequently asked questions
What is the TRC-20 USDT fee right now?
Without staked or rented energy, about $2.24 (6.77 TRX) to an address that already holds USDT, and about $4.42 (13.37 TRX) to an address that never held USDT. It is burned in TRX from the sender's wallet.
Why does the fee double for a new address?
A USDT transfer uses energy. When the recipient never held USDT, the contract has to create their balance, which takes about 130,000 energy instead of 64,000.
How do I pay less on Tron?
Stake TRX for energy, rent energy for a short period, or use another network the recipient supports: BNB Chain, Polygon, Solana and TON cost cents or less per transfer.
What are energy and bandwidth?
The resources a Tron transaction consumes. Smart contracts such as USDT use energy; every transaction uses bandwidth (bytes). Without them, the sender burns TRX at the network price (currently 100 sun per energy unit).
