How to Save on TRON Blockchain and USDT TRC20 Transaction Fees?

To operate on the TRON blockchain and transfer USDT TRC20, transaction fees are required. You can either pay these fees by burning TRX tokens, which is costly, or you can use ENERGY, which is much cheaper or even free!

To acquire the ENERGY needed to cover transaction fees, you must freeze TRX tokens in your wallet. By doing so, you gain ENERGY, but the frozen TRX tokens become temporarily unavailable. A minimum of 64,400 ENERGY is required for a single USDT TRC20 transfer. To generate this amount, you need to freeze 5,202 TRX, which equals $520 at a rate of $0.10 per TRX. ENERGY regenerates up to 64,400 daily, allowing for one transfer per day. If you need to make more than one USDT TRC20 transaction per day, you’ll need to freeze even more TRX, which makes it more expensive for the user.

• USDT transfer to an address with a balance: 64,400 ENERGY
• USDT transfer to an address without a balance: 130,400 ENERGY

Unfreezing TRX tokens takes 14 days, during which the tokens are inaccessible and no ENERGY is generated. After 14 days, the TRX tokens become available again. This method is ideal for users with a large TRX balance who do not plan to sell their tokens in the near future.
If you conduct transactions on the TRON network and send USDT TRC20 without having a large amount of frozen TRX, the most cost-effective solution is to purchase ENERGY instead of burning TRX to pay fees. This way, each transaction will be significantly cheaper, and you can save up to 80% per transfer!
