Introduction
On the TRON network, USDT TRC-20 transfers are usually accompanied by fees paid in TRX. However, by using Energy, you can make transactions without fees and without burning TRX. Below is a concise and practical overview of a popular method for sending USDT without fees.
Fee for a Standard USDT TRC-20 Transfer
Let’s first check the fee for a standard USDT TRC-20 transaction.
A preliminary estimate shows a fee of $3.08 or 13.49 TRX.
Since the wallet lacks 64,285 Energy, 13.49 TRX will be burned.
Note: If the recipient address had no USDT or if the network was overloaded, the fee would be even higher — around $6.20.
How to Send USDT TRC-20 Without Fees
To send USDT without paying any fees, go to feesaver.com
On the site, you’ll make a quick Energy purchase by sending 6 TRX to the provided address:
- In the SafePal wallet, select TRX
- Scan the QR code from the feesaver.com website
- Enter 6 TRX and tap Next
- Review the transaction details and tap Send
- You’ve now sent 6 TRX to purchase 66K Energy
Once the payment is sent, FeeSaver instantly delivers 66K Energy to your wallet, allowing you to cover the transaction.
If your transaction requires 132K Energy, send 12 TRX instead.
Otherwise, the blockchain will either burn additional TRX or fail to complete the transaction if there’s insufficient TRX.
Final Step: Send 5 USDT
Let’s now try sending 5 USDT.
We’ll see that the fee drops from $3.08 to just $0.08:
- In SafePal, select USDT (TRC-20)
- Tap Send
- Enter the recipient address and input 5 USDT
- Ensure that Energy is being used for the fee
- Tap Send
You have now successfully sent 5 USDT with almost no fee
Summary
Instead of paying $3.08, we paid only $1.40 (6 TRX + 0.345 TRX gas fee).
The total savings: approximately 60%.
If you purchase energy via the FeeSaver Telegram bot, the price is 5.75 TRX for 66K Energy.
