TRC20 vs ERC20: Which USDT Network Should You Use?
27 May 2026 · AngelX
When you send USDT, you must choose a network. The two most common are TRC20 and ERC20. Picking the right one saves time and fees.
TRC20 (Tron)
TRC20 transfers are typically fast and have very low network fees. This makes TRC20 a popular choice for everyday transfers.
ERC20 (Ethereum)
ERC20 runs on the Ethereum network. It is widely supported, but network fees can be higher depending on traffic.
Important rule
Always send USDT on the same network that the receiving address supports. Sending on the wrong network can result in permanent loss of funds. On AngelX, the correct network is always shown for each deposit order.
