Recipient check

A USDT transfer costs more energy when the receiving address holds no USDT. Check the address before you send.

Receiving address

Paste the TRON address you want to send USDT to. The address is looked up on the chain and not stored.

Questions

Why does the fee depend on the recipient?

The USDT contract keeps one balance entry per address. Sending to an address whose USDT balance is zero makes the contract create that entry, and writing a new storage entry costs more energy than changing an existing one. What counts is the balance at the time of the transfer: an address that once held USDT and is back at zero costs the higher amount again.

Does the recipient pay anything?

No. The sender pays: the energy and bandwidth are taken from the sending address, and TRX is burned there for whatever is missing. The recipient needs no TRX to receive USDT.

What if the address was never used?

A USDT transfer to an address that has never been used still arrives. The address stays unactivated until it receives TRX, and no activation fee is charged for the USDT transfer; the higher energy amount for an address without USDT applies.

Is the address I enter stored?

No. It is checked for a valid format, looked up once on the chain and kept in memory for about a minute so a reload does not ask again. It is not written to a database or a log.

Is renting energy safe?

Renting means a provider delegates energy to your address for a set time; your coins never leave your wallet and nobody needs your private key or seed phrase. Pay only from a wallet you control, only the price shown, and be wary of anyone who asks you to sign a permission or approval instead of a plain payment.
