Questions

What does it cost to activate a TRON address?

Activating an address by sending TRX to it burns 1.00 TRX from the sender, plus 0.1 TRX if the sender has no staked bandwidth for the transaction. These are the chain's current parameters.

Who pays the activation?

The sender of the first TRX transfer. The new address itself needs nothing to be activated.

Does sending USDT activate an address?

No. A USDT transfer changes balances inside the USDT contract and does not activate the receiving account, so the activation fee is not charged. The sender pays the higher energy amount that applies to any address without a USDT balance.

Can an unactivated address receive USDT?

Yes. The USDT arrives and is visible in explorers. To send it on, the address needs TRX for energy and bandwidth, and receiving that TRX is what activates it.
