Questions

Which network is cheapest for USDT right now?

At this moment Solana (SPL), at about $0.0004 per transfer among the networks listed here. Network fees move with demand, so the order can change within minutes.

Is the cheapest network always the right one?

Only if both sides support it. USDT on one network cannot be received on another: the sender and the recipient (or exchange) must use the same network, or the funds can be lost. Check which networks the receiving side accepts before comparing fees.

Are exchange withdrawal fees the same as these?

No. These are the networks' own fees for a transfer from your own wallet. An exchange charges its own fixed withdrawal fee, which is often higher than the network fee and is set by the exchange.

Why is the TRON figure lower with energy?

The TRON row shows the burn without any energy. With staked or rented energy the same transfer burns less or nothing; the calculator on the home page shows both.
