How to send USDT when you have no TRX
You can't send USDT with zero TRX: energy has to be paid for, and payment is made in TRX from the same address. But a few TRX is enough, so you don't need to keep 6.85 TRX for the burn.
The free daily Bandwidth limit, about 600 units, usually covers one transfer. But some wallets still require a TRX balance.

- Don't send from an exchange: the energy would go to the exchange, not to you.
- Send exactly 1.05 TRX from the same wallet you'll send USDT from.
- Energy lasts 1 hour. Make your transfer within that time.
Step by step
- 1
Top up the address you'll send USDT from with the package amount, from 1.05 TRX. A transfer from an exchange or another wallet works.
- 2
Check the address: we'll show how much energy your transfer needs.
- 3
Send TRX for the package from that same address to the payment address.
- 4
Wait for the “Energy on address” status.
- 5
Send your USDT. You'll need almost no TRX for the fee.
Pay for energy only from the address that will send the USDT: energy arrives at the address that sent the TRX. Don't pay from an exchange.
If the address is new
If the address has never received TRX or tokens, it isn't activated. Topping it up with TRX activates it automatically. More about activation.
