What are the TRC20 Transfer Fees and How Much Energy Does TRC20 Consume？

Many TRON traders often wonder about the fees for transferring TRC20 USDT.

Since the last TRON upgrade, the fees for TRC20 transfers have increased significantly due to the increased energy consumption after the upgrade. Now, TRC20 transfers typically consume at least around 32,000 energy, resulting in a fee of approximately 14 TRX. However, some users may notice that certain transfers incur a fee of about 28 TRX. This happens when the receiving TRC20 account does not have any USDT. In such cases, the energy consumption increases to about 64,000, leading to a higher fee of around 28 TRX.

With such high fees, is it not disadvantageous to use TRC20 for transfers?

In such cases, users should consider trying TRON energy self-rental, where the transaction fee is only 3 TRX. With just 3 TRX, you can rent around 32,000 energy, offsetting the original 14 TRX fee. This way, you save 11 TRX in fees.
