Every USDT transfer on TRON costs money. With no energy on your wallet, the network burns the fee in TRX — usually about 13 TRX per transfer. Here is where that number comes from and how to pay just over 1 TRX instead.
A USDT transfer is a smart-contract call, and it consumes a network resource called energy: ~65,000 units for a regular transfer and up to ~131,000 if the recipient has never held USDT. If your wallet has no energy, the network burns the equivalent in TRX — those ~13 TRX. It is how TRON itself works, not a wallet tariff.
With Tronergy a USDT transfer costs just over 1 TRX. Here is the breakdown:
| Price | |
|---|---|
| Energy for the transfer — from third-party wallets | 0.1 TRX |
| Slot — our fee for getting energy through the app | 0.8 TRX |
| Network bandwidth fee — not ours, charged only if your wallet's free daily limit is used up | ~0.36 TRX |
For comparison: without energy a transfer costs ~13 TRX.
1. Energy in two taps, without leaving your wallet. Tronergy opens right inside TronLink. Tap "Energy" — a few seconds later it is on your wallet, then send USDT as usual. No third-party services, no switching between apps, no manual TRX transfers to unknown addresses.
2. Safety on frequent, fast transfers. When you send many transfers one after another, it is easy to send USDT to the wrong address by mistake — and the blockchain is irreversible. In Tronergy energy arrives as a transaction from the app, no outside addresses are involved, so we will not let you send USDT to the wrong place. Non-custodial: your keys and funds never leave your wallet.
3. Pay only for real transfers. Many services sell energy at a higher price and in time-limited packages: you choose the amount in advance — say, 100 transactions for a month. Run short — pay more; have some left — it expires and cannot be moved. In Tronergy energy is issued per transaction: slots are bought in advance but never expire and stay on your wallet until you need them. Switched wallets — move your slots to the new one. You do not lose money on what you did not use.
