These are network costs for sending from your own wallet. Exchanges charge their own withdrawal fee on top, often a flat 1 USDT on TRC20. A "new wallet" has never held USDT, which costs more on TRON and Solana.

For a typical transfer (one input, two outputs, about 141 vbytes).

Before you send

  • Use the same network on both sides. USDT sent on TRC20 to a BEP20 address can be lost for good.
  • Send a small test first when you use a new address, then send the rest.
  • TRON needs energy. From your own wallet you pay in TRX, so keep a few TRX in it.
  • Check the address twice. Some malware swaps addresses you copy. Compare the first and last characters.
