COMMON QUESTIONS

Why does it cost 4 TRX and not less?

A USDT TRC-20 transfer consumes ~65,000 Energy units. To provide that Energy we have to stake TRX in our delegation wallet. 4 TRX covers the cost of that delegation plus a small service fee. It's the minimum that makes it economical.

What if I send the wrong amount?

Only send exactly 4 TRX. If you send more or less, the system won't trigger and your TRX will not be returned automatically. Double-check the amount before confirming the transaction.

What if my Energy doesn't arrive?

Energy arrives within 3 seconds in 99.97% of cases. If it hasn't appeared after 60 seconds, check TronScan to confirm your 4 TRX transaction went through. If the transaction confirmed but Energy didn't arrive, contact support with your TxHash.

What happens after 20 minutes?

Unused Energy is recalled to our delegation wallet automatically. You'd need to send another 4 TRX to reload. Send your USDT immediately after Energy arrives — don't close the app first.

Can I use this for multiple transfers at once?

130,000 Energy covers exactly one standard USDT TRC-20 transfer (~65,000 Energy). For two transfers you'd send 4 TRX twice from the same wallet. Each order is independent.

Does it work with any wallet?

Yes — TronLink, TP Wallet, imToken, Trust Wallet, Ledger, any wallet that holds TRC-20 tokens and lets you send TRX. No special apps or connections needed.
