💡 Up to 2 dollars per transaction? Yes, this is real 🤯 But there are ways to reduce it to less than 1 dollar 👇
1. Why have USDT transfer fees on the TRON network increased?
USDT transfer fees via TRON are calculated based on energy consumption to execute smart contracts. When sending USDT to an address that already contains USDT, approximately 64,285 energy units, which translates to about 13–14 TRX ≈ 3.4 dollars. However, when transferring to an address that does not already contain USDT, consumption may rise to 27 TRX ≈ 6.8 dollars. (blog.tronsave.io, plasbit.com)
In some cases, fees can reach 7–8 dollars during network congestion or when transferring to a completely new wallet. (bithide.io, plasbit.com)
2. How to reduce fees?
Freezing (Staking) TRX to gain Energy allows for USDT transactions without consuming TRX as fees, provided sufficient energy is available. (LJR, Panda Academy)
Energy Rental Through platforms like Tronsave or Feee.io, transfers are offered at a discounted rate of around 3 TRX only (~$0.75–1) instead of 14–28 TRX. (support.token.im#, Panda Academy)
Transferring to wallets that already contain USDT reduces the cost almost by half compared to transferring to a new wallet. (LJR, Panda Academy)
3. Does this phenomenon reflect something new related to BTTC?
The increase in transfer fees is due to the TRON network mechanism itself and not to BitTorrent Chain (BTTC). BTT or BTTC fees are related to mining or usage rewards within the ecosystem and do not directly affect USDT fees. (OKX TR, CoinMarketCap)
4. Future projections for USDT fees via TRON:
Current Status Expected Fees Current Status Without Adjustment 3–7 dollars Use Energy Rental or equipped wallet 0.75–1 dollars Use long-term Staking Near-zero fees (depending on available energy)
Fees are expected to stabilize at lower levels (dollar or less) with the spread of energy rental services and the adoption of wallets supporting resource pooling.
Conclusion
The increase in USDT fees (TRC-20) to around 2 dollars or more is not surprising but a direct result of how the TRON network operates in resource distribution.
Available solutions include utilizing freezing TRX or renting energy or sending USDT to pre-equipped wallets.
BTTC is not directly related to this matter; it is a separate part of the TRON and BitTorrent ecosystem.
