USDT Networks: TRC20 vs ERC20

USDT runs on several networks (blockchains). The most common are TRC20 (the Tron network) and ERC20 (the Ethereum network). The main differences are fees, speed, and compatibility — and most importantly, the network must match between sender and receiver, or funds can be lost.

The difference in brief

• TRC20 (Tron): lower fees and high speed; popular for everyday transfers.
• ERC20 (Ethereum): very widely supported, but fees are often higher.

The golden rule

Send and receive on the same network only. Choose the network both your wallet and the other party support, and confirm it before any transfer.
