Hello,
I want to buy $150 USDT and send it to an address. Is TRC20 cheaper or BEP20?

Thank you.

Bep20 is cheaper now because trc20 now charging more fee and it is remain no cheaper network. 2-3 years later TRC20 was most cheapest network and sending fee was just one trx(0.02$) but I checked one year ago by sending usdt to other addresses and trc network charged 2$ per transaction which is higher than many network.

BSC network fee is just 0.05$-0.1$ which is very low as compared to TRC. If you use Matic then it is cheaper than both. BTW you want to buy from Cex ?

BEP20 should be cheaper, but TRC20 is more widely used. I'd go with the latter if the plan is to hold this for the long term, there's is no point in holding something that's only supported by one centralized exchange, and a couple of DEXes.

TRC-20 is cheap, and bep20 is also cheap. In some exchanges, the fee to withdraw is almost the same thing, which is equivalent to $1 to withdraw out of the exchange. If you withdraw $150, you will receive $149 minus the $1 fee.

On Binance exchange, BEP20 transactions are cheaper, but it can be of the same fee on other exchanges. In over all that I have seen, BEP20 is cheaper.

On noncustodial wallet, BEP20 is cheaper.

Most widely used for USDT, TRC20.

The transaction fee of USDT on the TRC network is $0.95.

The transaction fee of USDT on the BEP20 network is $0.3.

Transaction fee is different from withdrawal fee and when you said you want to buy then probably it is from centralized exchange where withdrawal fee of each coin is different from one to another platform.

For some undisclosed reasons, I get people preferring to use trc20 than bep20

If I was to critically analyse why based on on-chain analysis, one of the factors to note is that the trc20 arrives or confirms way much faster than bep20, this is not to say trc20 design is the faster or fastest but I believe its use isn't as much as that of bep20 therefore validations have fewer transactions thereby not having a congested confirmation log to validate but bep20 is in steady use and therfore the tps might be overwhelmed and thereby trigger a bit of delay.

The difference is just few cents while TRC20 has more liquidity for USDT therefore it’s better to hold your token in TRC20 if you are buying USDT.

In general, BEP20 is cheaper in terms of transaction fee since Tron Network increases their fee lately. But the price in USD value is still the same while TRC20 is widely use in almost all website that accepts USDT.

I just recently used tron, and it's stupid. Afaik, I paid $4 for usdt transfer, bep20 is far better.


C'mon, not couple dexes. I'm sure each and every bsc dex supports it. TRC20 is widely used only on cexes, because they can stake several thousands tron for free resources and avail free transfers. So pocketing money from users by taking withdrawal fees and at the same time being relatively cheap for user. Both party wins.

Other than that trc20 is expensive to sell on tron dexes and transfer too for normal users.

TRC20 is widely accepted in centralized exchanges when many exchanges don't support the BEP20 version of USDT. I guess this 150 dollars of yours will eventually go to any centralized exchange if it is supposed to be converted into fiat. Centralized exchange is the most convenient way to do that right now as far as I know. You can buy USDT with P2P and a visa card if that is available in your country. Also be careful when selecting the address type as TRC20 is not EVM compatible so their names may look similar but their addresses will not. 

If you are sending USDT from a tron wallet then it's transaction fees is very low. I think it's just 5-10 Tron. But if you are sending from exchange the it's fees is 1-5$ on Tron Blockchain.
Bep20 network fees is low and it's fast. It's exchange and wallet fees is same. I think binance is charging 0.20- 0.30$ cents in bnb for one transaction.
So, you can prefer bep20 chain

The last time I checked which was a few days ago, withdrawing USDT TRC20 from a casino cost me $5, maybe the exchanges will also ask the same.
In the exchange where I also withdrew USDT(BEP20) going to my Binance account, it cost me $0.50. This is very recent so it must be the most updated fees so far. Huge difference especially when it comes to your local currency.

The transaction fees of BEP-20 and TRC-20 are almost same, there is not much difference, but what I have noticed that transactions on TRC-20 are processed comparatively faster. However, I am attaching below a link of website that  shows the real-time gas fees for USDT transfer to various networks, such as Etherem (ERC-20), BSC (BEP-20), Tron (TRC-20) and Polygon.

Matic has the cheapest for now. But need to check the availability of this network where you want to finally send your funds.
Tron network was cheaper before but now, BSC network seems to be favorable especially if both networks are available.
So the OP should check the availability of these networks and how much each platform is charging their customers.
Sometimes, the fees vary from one platform to another. So there's no fix answer to this question.

Ita very simple, BEP-20 is cheaper as it costs only 0.30 USDT as network fee wherein TRC-20 costs 1 USDT as network fee, but as per my personal experience TRC-20 are way quicker than BEP-20 in terms of transaction.

Go ahead with BEP-20 if it's available in the exchange or P2P platform where you are sending these $150, moreover regardless $0.30 or $1 doesn't make huge difference at these are flat rates instead of dynamic or percentage basis. BEP-20 will not be available with all the exchanges.

BEP20 is more cheaper and you should choose depends on what network address you are sending.
Ask your receiver about the BEP20 address because its the best option and you can easily get the address in many exchanges and wallet as this is accepted by many. If you are also buying this in an centralized exchange and with P2P, you should also consider the rate of buying it.

This depends. If you're using Binance to facilitate the transfers, then BEP20 is around 5x cheaper than transferring USDT on other chains including TRC20.

But if you're making the transfers on-chain (independent of an exchange) then you should use BEP20 since it's more cheap compared to Tron blockchain when you factor in the cost of bandwidth and other tx requirements or just default to TRX for fees — BEP20 is still cheaper.

Honestly, both networks are the cheapest in terms of fees, but naturally, I prefer BEP20 for its significantly lower costs, especially on centralized exchange platforms (CEX). It's good that you brought up this topic before making any transactions. You should always check the fees of each network you will use to transfer your crypto through. It's perfect that you didn't choose the ERC20 network because it's one of the most expensive networks in terms of fees during peak times and network congestion. Fortunately, many other solutions and alternatives are less costly.

It would be best if you also made sure that the address you are sending to has chosen the appropriate network. If the transaction is "on-chain" on exchange platforms, sending to the wrong network may result in losing those funds.

It is possible that BEP20 will cost less to deliver. But if it's just one transaction, you wouldn't hesitate to pay $1, so the difference between BEP20 and TRC20 is not too much in terms of what you're talking about.

But anyway, I still like TRC20 because I find it very fast. But if you only trade on CEX, there is not much difference in withdrawal fees.

Those blockhains are so cheap and it doesn't even matter what blockchain you have chosen from your list. I have been actively using TRC20 and BEP20. There are no different in the fees as these are having cheap transfers.
The only thing that makes it different if TRC is a bit complicated and you need to pick bep caused by it's much more simply to use. Those tokens were only costing you a few cents and i think that this shall not be debatable.
Your choices were having low fees. that's why it doesn't even impact your money whether you pick trc or bep. Those all the same. It cost you very small.
You shall not worry about that. I prefer to use BEP as it's much more easy and simple than TRC.

Just check the withdrawal fees to be sure. Ideally TRC20 should be cheaper to transact when you have frozen a large amount of TRX on your wallet as the transaction would happen fee less. But exchanges levy withdrawal fee in order to promote one option to other. BEP20 is also cheap enough, I had a near instant transaction for BNB worth 10 cents just today. Both of the network should cost over 50 cents to transact but exchanges have their own calculations.

honestly using either both of these doesn't gonna be any problem, sometime CEX always have fixed fee of sending through these two blockchain with the same rate, so basically its the same thing.
but if someone wants to interact with smart contract after ward then definitely BSC is better since unlike tron the smart contract in BSC are quite many and also the capabilities to bridge across various other blockchain make it no brainer to use BSC.
honestly sending USDT using both blockchain will not exceed 1 dollar so personally shouldn't think about the fee in the first place, just think about whether he gonna interact with smart contract afterwards.
but if OP realy concerned about the fee itself he could always see the fee from the latest block and determine it himself since both blockchain fee dynamically changing.

If you select aggressive fees while making transaction on bsc, you will get your transaction confirmed instaneously while paying extra fees of few cents.

I checked site you linked, and fees shown are $1-$2 usd for trc20, and bsc is at 3 cents [1], this could be different yesterday but unless I see it with my own eyes, I refuse tron could have been this cheap.

Both of almost charged same fees, there are no significant different between both of transaction fees. In terms of fast transaction i think TRC-20 is the best but an exchanges you have to pay 1$ to make withdraw USDT, i am talking about Binance i don’t know about other exchanges fees.

TRC20 and BEP20 networks have different fee structures. TRC20 which is based on the TRON blockchain generally has lower transaction fees compared to BEP20 which is based on the Binance Smart Chain.

But important thing from which platform you want to withdraw you money. If you will use the hot wallet for transaction so I will recommend Trc20 this will be cheaper then Bep20. So you should use that because it will charge fee in Tron.

Or if you have funds in exchange. So I will recommend that you should Bep20 network. Because in exchanges if you will withdraw USDT so it will charge fee in USDT and in TRC20. Mostly exchanges charge 1USDT and if you use Bep20 network so it will charge according to the network fee. Means it can be 0.2USDT to 1USDT.

So now this is your personal decision which network you will use. You can check fee before making transaction. Which you think is cheaper so you can use that network.

Do you think that Trc20 and Bep20 usdt transferring fee is same? Bsc fee is only 0.03 USD and Usdt Tron fee is more than 1$. Bsc is also quick like tron.. I am using BSC network for all transactions and also used tron usdt where exchange not support BSC deposit and I don't see any difference in speed of arriving payment..I think If our transaction could send with just 0.03$ then it is strange to pay extra 1$ for same process.
 OP asked a cheaper network between BSC and Trc20.. The right answer is only one which is BSC. In your shared website Tron fee is similar to Ethereum fee which is true and real time fee currently.

https://i.ibb.co/SJr8VhF/Feee.jpg (https://ibb.co/rvsS5CD)

What casino you are using because that’s a terrible flat rate for Tron network transfer. Even when tron has a busy network before only charge 2$+ for transaction fee while this casino is charging like a ERC20 tokens transfer already.

1$ is still the average price for transaction on exchange like Binance, Kucoin and other big exchange so I’m sure that casino is over charging customers with the fee.

Before it was better to use for me Tron because I have got some spare of it and that's why I have just spent most of them on fees and transfers. But then if you're trying to look on which is cheaper for the fees, no contest that BEP20 has been stable for being cheaper than any other chain.

If someone is going to argue that there is a free transfer for some coins. Yes, I know that as well but it's not supporting Tether and everyone who uses it is trying to find some alternatives for how we're going to save fees.

Anyway, the market can be like this that it's cheaper for now with BEP20 but if it gets to the whole point of being clogged then it may experience some increase in fees as well and the same goes for TRC20, I've seen fees there went high.

I prefer BEP20, Binance chain is still more secured than Tron network, also there is likelihood of fund recovery with Binance chain than Tron. The issue I have with Tron network is that it is a one-man show, nobody is building on the chain, people only use it to move stable coins around because it is cheaper and faster to use, but the security of the chain is still shaky with recent hacks being reported

Could you elaborate on that? what do you mean that you could recover the funds if lost on BSC but not on Tron network? And which hacks are you referring to? I'm not defending Tron but I'm not aware of any hacks. And assuming there are a few dapps that got hacked, then it would be an issue with the service itself, and not the actual network.

I don't know about that fund recovery. Does it mean about reversible transactions if ever you did something wrong?

Actually, you're right about tron. As it is needed to do transactions for trc20 USDT, it is why it's being used by many people and why it's likely staying on the top. Like omegastar is asking about hacks that did happened on Tron, what are those? I know that it's also owned by Justin Sun and some of its affiliated companies have been hacked but with tron, when?

That is also what I noticed after a long time of using both networks, I think that is because we pay more fees, so it's normal that it will be processed quickly. The same with Bitcoin and other cryptos. This makes us use TRC-20 more, than BEP-20, even though TRC-20 is a little costly.

After all, it was still $1 and it's cheaper compared to Bitcoin and Ethereum transaction/gas fees. I think Binance or BEP-20 is more popular and more trusted by the many but it's strange if it's less supported by the exchanges. Is it possible that they have a hidden hate because it was their competitor? While Tron doesn't have an exchange so they just side on it instead.

TRC20 is more expensive now, however, it wasn't always like that. I hope they'll fix that in the future. As far as I know TRC20 is a bit more widely spread.

I think almost the same but Id prefer bep20 as they got more dapps supported while also Im not fond of using trc20 on dex but only on centralized exchange. But theres not much difference between those two unless you are comparing any of this to ethereum well Id pick one of each versus for that.

No, it is not, Technically USDT transaction fee is 3X times that on BEP but in the past TRC allowed the users to transact the tokens for free of cost as long as they hold a particular amount of Tron in the wallet but things have changed, and once it used to be cheaper now comparatively expensive but from broader perspective both are cheaper than erc20 transfer though.

Bep20 is cheaper for withdrawals from Binance.

So in this withdrawal you want to save more so that you don't spend more than $1? For me, withdrawing stabelcoin with a withdrawal fee of about $1 is reasonable except on the Etherium network then it will be more expensive because the gas there is quite high.

There are many networks available for USDT withdrawals, usually exchanges provide many.

Bep20 is cheaper than TRC20 20. You can also find more ways to use your usdt on Bep20 network. I donno why TRC20 is more expensive because the network isn't that congested like Bep20.

of course BEP20, in the past TRC20 was very suitable to use, because the gas fees were very cheap, but now in my opinion BEP20 is more suitable to use, because currently transactions using BEP20 are faster and cheaper than TRC20, therefore I recommend you to make transactions using BEP20 rather than TRC20.

BEP20 is cheaper, faster and swift transaction while TRC20 is also cheap but most of it transaction fees is pegged at $1 thus it depends on the final destination of coin whether it is BEP20 enabled or not that is the final destination of your $150 can accept  if it is not then TRC20 is another one of the most common network for swift transaction too, while ERC20 is quite expensive for any transaction that is why crypto enthusiast always seek alternative for ERC20 because of their cheap transactions and scalable network.

If you withdraw USDT from exchange both BSC and TRC-20 charge fees like $0.80-1$ so both are almost same and transaction speed is almost same in both. So you can choose any one you want. But since BSC chain is more popular than TRX, you can use it if you want.  But I would say use whatever you feel comfortable with

Both are almost same. The fees are not very different. If you are using Binance then definitely BEP20 will cost you comparatively cheaper fees. The network time is also almost same. So whatever network you choose, it won’t make any big difference. If you want to save each and every penny, then definitely BEP20 will be beneficial.

  It is cheaper in Bep20 compared to Trc20, because I saw in an exchange in Trc20 that the fee was 1.7 dollars, but when I tried to look at Bep20, the fee was 1.5 dollars.

  That's what I found to be cheaper than BEP20, so you should use BC Network if you want to save money or get a discount on fees, friend. But of course, it's still your choice what network you feel like using. Right?

To be fair this is the biggest advantage that TRC20 had that it didn't utilize. Everyone KNOWS that TRC20 is cheaper, it is not a secret and it is obvious and we all know it and yet at the end of the day we are not really doing anything regarding this, it's really a shame. If I had a coin that had a chain that was clearly better and cheaper and faster than every other option out there and being accepted by all the major exchanges as a way to send money, then I would do everything I have in my power to make it a top 5 coin.

It is insane to think that there is a coin and specially a chain this great, probably the best at what it does, and it is not getting any attention at all, it is definitely a big shame. It all comes down to Justin Sun being a very disliked person of course, he has done so much to ruin it, and now that he is gone, the damage to the reputation of this project is already done and him being out of the picture doesn't really change anything.

In which exchange they charged 1.7$ in TRC-20? I used a few major exchanges i didn’t see such high fees as like in Binance only charge 1 TRX (0.10$) to make a transaction, I think it’s pretty low fees and you can't transfer less cheap price in BEP-20. Tron isn’t using as like BSC because it’s not popular as like BSC. Mostly coins are also implemented in BSC network.

Usually it will be cheaper to use the BEP20 (BSC) network. But what is certain is, check first on the exchange or platform, usually there will be a fee statement and also the minimum withdrawal that must be issued. Who knows, there are different platforms. In terms of speed, both of them are quite fast so far.

The most important thing is when choosing the network, make sure that you choose the right network. If it's BEP20 then you have to make sure the destination wallet is correct, namely the BEP20 wallet (BSC) and if it's Tron, then use the Tron network. Don't make a mistake because it could result in the loss or non-arrival of assets at the destination exchange or wallet.

both blockchain have different address because I presume tron used a heavily modified EVM in which also change the address formats thats why if you are inserting your tron wallet in BEP20 wallet or either you are inserting your BEP20 address into tron the app will usually detect mistake so no need to worry about that.
regardless i'd be more worried with the existence of dapps deployed in both blockchain since I think the amout of dapp in binance smart chain was definitely so much more than tron, but if its matter of sending stablecoin then I guess tron will suffice but usually exchange has fixed rate of $1 for sending USDT so thats can be a concern.
regardless couldn't go wrong with one of the two, they are just as cheap in term of fee and as fast.

For me, when I do transfers to TRC20 with my USDT, I don't find it cheap. But it doesn't mean that it's expensive, I think it's just in the middle.

I can still afford and not find it too expensive but with the comparison. It's just like cents to a few bucks of comparison and that's not hurting me. What's good here is that we've got choices on these networks when we want to transfer and receive USDT.

So when we move funds, it won't cost that much and we've got options.

That's why i would like to recommended BEP-20 because in some cases BSC is damn popular from TRON, as like now BEP-20 is low transaction fees than TRX, if comparing transaction speed i think both same fastest network. TRX down a bit because it's not improving in terms of their development, on the other hand BEP-20 is implement a lot of features in their development.

Bep-20 is better than Trc-20. There is very less devolpment in the Trc-20 due to which most of the people using bnb chain for buying many tokens by paying low fee. Most of Ethereum projects are migrated to BSC chain due to it's popularity and low fee. Now every second person will hold bnb for fee while very few numbers of people will hold TRX because TRC-20 chain has limited number of tokens.

I personally hold 5$ worth of bnb for transaction purpose and didn't even think about holding trx. The only priority of usdt (trc20) is that, it is available in all exchanges while bep20 chain usdt are missed in some good exchanges.

Yes, BEP20 USDT is not supported in many exchanges so users only have to choose the bcep20 if they are using exchanges where it is supported or else just going with trc20 should be the smart choice.

I am using some exchanges where only trc and eth USDT are supported so my preference is trc in that case since the eth gas fee becomes insane from time to time.

Tron has a complicated bandwidth, energy and staking system that determines how much you pay in fees. It’s been years since I used Tron, and they’ve made some changes since then, so I’m not too certain about how this system works. USDT has much greater adoption on Tron but BSC is better as a smart contract and token platform. You can get low fees on either chain so it depends on what your needs are and how well you understand each blockchain.

I think they are both the same. I have made transactions with both and both went smoothly. Although at that time I felt TRC20 was slightly faster than BEP20. But that's not a significant difference. You can use whichever you feel comfortable with because it's not that big of a difference.

In my opinion, both TRC20 and BEP20 transaction fees are cheaper. Even when making a withdrawal from the exchange the transaction fee is only $1. Moreover, if you want to send USDT to an address via Metamask it is much cheaper, the cost is less than $1.

I recommend that you send it on BEP20 network, because it is faster and cheaper, so it will save you more money on paying gas fees, even though TRC20 is also a network that has cheap gas fees, but in my opinion currently BEP20 is a network which is the cheapest and worth it to use, that's why I recommend you to use BEP20 rather than TRC20 for now.

Apart from bep20 been cheaper, it is more popular than Tron network and many people would prefer Binamce Smart Chain compared to Tron Smart Chain. There are so many tokens that are built on the Bep20 network and that is one of the things we need to look out for before we think of using a network. The Tron Blockchain is a good one and it has low network fee too like binance smart chain but we also have to consider different factors when investing or using a network for transaction fee.

I really agree with you, friend, that up until now, making transactions on both of them has been very good and cheap, but once again, it is adjusted to what he will do because everything is returned to the habit of what will be done. But I really agree once again with you, friend, that using a metamask will be easier and usually cheaper. But in principle, if you want to do both, it is highly recommended and very good, so there is no need to hesitate anymore. because up to now it is highly recommended that TRC20 and BEP20 be used because they are very cheap and problems rarely occur.

It all depends on the ultimate purpose of using the TRC-20/BEP-20. If this is a simple transfer between exchanges, then you should rely on the cost of the transaction, as well as the minimum amount of tokens for withdrawal/deposit and the exchange’s support of the required USDT standard. If we are talking about withdrawing tokens to your wallet, then do not forget that not all software wallets support TRC-20.

thats true right now I think the most used blockchain for USDT is either Ethereum main blockchain or tron blockchain its always these two because with ethereum it has the many holders in blockchain also majority of token issued are in this blockchain and TRC20 is for the cheap side of sending the USDT. to be fair it highly depends on the purpose of using the stablecoin if it involves no interaction with smart contract then TRC20 is good enough, but with BEP20 there are many things like defi that some people might be interested in therefore it might be worth it to use the BEP20 USDT.
however one could always use other form of stablecoin thats not limited to USDT so that they can have more leeway for them to choose the blockchain.

transaction fee chart could help, BEP20 fee 0.04 - 0.40, TRC20 0.01 - 0.20

There was a time I was using more of the Trim network than even other network. Recently, I have realized that we can be more profitable especially when we are using Blockchain network that is not stressing us or making us to pay too much of transaction fee. Congestion is one of the things that could make investors to keep spending more money for them to sell cryptocurrency to other people. I am happy that the Tron network and Smart Chain network and are able to make compete difference.

Currently, Bep20 is cheap, you can use it if you want, and you can easily settle transactions from it with low fees. Although TRC20 has slightly higher transaction fees, most investors use the USDT trc20 platform for transactions. But if you plan to invest, then definitely invest in good coins that will not lose your money.

Hi OP have you sent your usdt? or have you used trc20 often and even added bep20? in some exchanges this determines the withdrawal fee, I am confused whether you withdraw and send your usdt from cex, or just send from your wallet to someone else's wallet?

BEP20 is currently what I feel especially the metamask wallet, it is quite difficult because changing or adding rpc must use vpn, but there are other wallets that do not have to bother to rpc bsc or bep20. indeed bep-20 is still very dense transactions than trc in my opinion. if you still like to send usdt until now try from the mantle chain, some time ago I tried from cex byb*t and the fee was free, maybe now it's still a promotional stage, but I'm comfortable because it's fast too, I don't know other cex because with other chains as far as I know it can cost 1$ once withdrawn. it saves me a lot for daily transactions with a small amount.

OP made this post on 25th Nov 2023 I believe OP has withdrawn his USDT by now. But it is definitely better to use BEP20 to withdraw USD because currently BEP20 withdrawal is much easier and has lower fees than TRC20.

I don't know if you sent your USDT to your address. Since you said which network will you send your USDT to. If you want to send USDT at low cost and low fee then I would suggest you to go for BSC (BEP-20) network. Because the fee of this network is very low.Today I saw 13 TRX (1.43$) fee to withdraw USDT from TRC-20 network.

OP forgot to lock the topic because it has been a month time that OP created it. This is the problem the Altcoin board has been facing and we are helpless to do anything about it. I think the best would be BEP20 which has the lowest fee and the next would be TRC20. The confirmation time for both of the blockchains is within 3 minutes, the difference is only the fee required for a transaction to confirm.

  Yes, members arrive in every thread, especially users with good enthusiasm to answer and make it easier for people who are having difficulty, it is possible that OP still wants to monitor the thread because OP still often uses Usdt, as I said that every time there are chains that offer reduced fees and even free on other or new chains, the last online Op was yesterday December 18, I have experienced that when the thread I wrote and has been answered, of course I am confused to answer again because it has been represented by what each person explained.

Yes moderation for a thread is good or the final step is to lock it, but I sometimes still want to read about what updates there are from what I wrote, including the OP asking about usdt transactions and usdt is indeed very easy to use. for me usdt is quite effective and usdt is indeed depending on the policy of an oracle for a ride to send according to the chain. not bad if you force a fee of about 1$ times 30 transactions has also become a decent fund for me. although in the cex also varies there is a fee of $0.3 even 0$, sometimes people don't have a certain cex that supports a certain chain, tired of registing and kyc can't even buy and send usdt according to the cheap chain, I support this thread to continue to stand because of certain conditions sometimes I check the fee every time the transaction, discussion is a solution without having to check one by one cex, saving time with the latest transaction experience even through other people.

Sorry if I'm wrong, as far as I know, TRC20 used to be very cheap (cheaper than BEP20), but lately I've seen a lot of people complaining because the fees on TRC20 have increased drastically. for now I recommend using BEP20.

You can quickly search that on the internet. I have found one but I don't think they continuously update the fee. But you can get a clear indication on which one has the lower fee.

TRC20 used to have the lowest fee for transactions but the recently they do not allow lower fees for other token except for their own native token TRX tron.
I don't know for what use cases you are buying USDT for. But if you are looking to buy it and then deposit it somewhere else, I would suggest using Litecoin or some other assets which have lower fees.

There are many information online op can get to differentiate which one is better between Tron network and the other.
There are lots of differences between Binance smart Chain and Tron chain but what I know most is like the Binance smart is more cheaper than the Tron Chain. I think the BSC is faster since I have use the two many time before now. Op should op in to the one he find more better and easy to use for himself. There is so many information he can get online.

You need to check well and consider what OP was trying to do. He clearly stated that he want to transfer USDT and I think the reason is could be as a result of high fees on other chains. Typically, USDT is favour by Tether more than BEP-20 because Tron chain was the first to be accepted to mint USDT until when Binance smart chain was built by Binance and then they later join the race. However, BUSD was a Binance business and such didn't go well with Tether and that's why their two favorite chain remain ethereum and Tron but the fees on Ethereum is high, I will recommend Tron over BEP-20.

Tron might be congested because of the activity going on and the hence the fee hike but it's worth it, traditionally all the exchange has TRC20 option on their deposit but I can mention many of them don't support BEP-20 option, now tell me how you need to do when you buy BEP-20 USDT for deposit in case of emergency or any unforseen circumstances? What are you going to do when you don't have exchange like Binance to deposit, it will surely be a problem.

BEP20 is no doubt cheaper today. It was also said before that TRC20 was cheaper but when people shifted to another one and with all of the demand increases on one another, we always get to see the increase in fees as well. And it's hard to manage on that part when you can no longer bear that increase in fee but compared with fees, we're all free to go wherever we think is much cheaper. But based on this website: https://gasfeesnow.com/ it is BSC(BEP20) has cheaper fees but matic is the cheapest of them all.

All the two Blockchains are good but BEP20 more cheaper to the TRC20 and BEP20 is more wider and more use than the  TRC20. And if you are investing for long term then you have to use any of them but if you must choose one then you can go with BEP20 . I believe in Binance people use BEP20 more. Though because of the high transaction fee, everyone is increasing their transaction fees to meet up the fees and taxation.

The space is broad, and a trader doesn't know everything. Fees can be provided and everyone knows their targets to achieve in the space. Binance is a top crypto exchange and everyone knows how to trade when it comes crypto, it becomes understandable to grab golden opportunities. The transaction made are numerous and important in the space, everywhere becomes understandable once we're in profits. Blockchains are accessible but it requires good settings of crypto projects. TRC and BEP20 becomes easy to comprehend because they're cheap and affordable by traders.

If you use a Tron specific wallet like TronLink there is an option to stake your TRX to earn energy and bandwidth which are required to make transactions. Wallets that only have basic features will burn TRX to cover the transaction fee. If you use a wallet that doesn't have advanced features then you will be under the impression that Tron fees are high but in reality they can be negligible or non-existent if you know how to manage your wallet correctly.

I will suggest you to use BEP20 for transaction because the charges will be minimum as compared to TRC20 therefore if you want to perform quick transaction in minimum timing then BEP20 is better choice. Most of the people are widely using TRC20 for performing the transaction of  USDT but it depends on the person's thoughts that about which he thinks better.

Previously the transaction fees of TRC20 was not so higher but now there are so many people who are saying that now there is an increase occurred in its fees therefore if you wants transaction with minimum fee charges then use BEP20 for it.

You can use both BEP20 and TRC20 for transactions but you need to see which one charges less in comparison. The five fingers of the hand are not equal but the fingers are used a lot, similarly the number of their users is not equal but in both cases the use of transactions is large. I think TRC20 may have higher transaction fees due to network usage and congestion. I would suggest you to use BEP20 because of lower transaction fees and hope you feel comfortable with BEP20.

In this case I say that TRC20 and BEP20 both are best but we talk about there fee charges TRC20 fee is high compared to BEP20 my experience is that use BEP20 because there fee is low if anyone not see there fee just talk about there function both are good both work correct and fast .

In terms of transactions, BEP20 costs are currently much lower than TRC20. Among these two networks, TRC20 network is being used more by people. As TRC20 network usage has increased, the cost has also increased somewhat. I think TRC20 cost is a bit high but very convenient for USDT transactions. I prefer TRC20 because I feel comfortable using TRC20. Now you can try TRC20 yourself. Many people prefer and use BEP20 as it costs less. Basically, each uses different networks for their own benefit

It has been most popular network for it, but every site i have used that has accepted TRC20 has also accept BEP20. They are both widely used compared to some new networks like arbitrum, which i would prefer for a long run. As in the future anything cheap and reliable will be adopted as the prices of tx fees will rise with the adoption.

But i really wouldn't mind using either one of the choises OP has. If the fee is under $1 it's nearly free in my book.

You are not wrong, because in fact currently transaction fees on BEP20 are cheaper than on TRC20 and everyone in this thread has admitted it. Maybe this happened because many people switched to TRC20 and caused transactions on TRC20 to increase which resulted in transaction fees also increasing. but eventually they will return at BEP20  ;D

  I can only use those two when I make a transaction to withdraw or transfer my cryptocurrencies to other exchanges. But there are other exchange platforms where Bnb is more expensive than Trx.

  So, I still use Tron most of the time. But I have the same holdings as those, to be honest. Because I still see potential in them in the future. The Tron just looks like it's doing nothing, but when the bull run comes, it's sure to happen, and its price will move in a way that most people don't expect for sure.

In binance withdraw fees of USDT is cheaper in BSC chain than tron. In other exchanges they are mostly the same, as far as I know. Other exchanges charge 1USDT in withdraw fees in both chains. I think in some cases bitcoin lightning network or EOS is cheaper in terms of exchange withdrawal fees compared to BSC and tron. As far as i know tron and BSC chain is widely used and you can even use those in their ecosystem so they are the better option but if you wants to use only to withdraw funds then there are other chain cheaper than those two.

More widely used? I can’t say for sure, or maybe you’re right. But I don’t ever remember transacting USDT on TRC20, and the people around me too. We’re were mostly dealing with ERC20 until ethereum gas fee went too high and BEP20 seemed a better option. Since then, I haven’t seen any need to use anything else (even if I’ve heard that TRC20 is cool too). Maybe it offers something that BEP20 offers? But I THINK BEP20 Is more used.

According to the latest data from BitInfoCharts, the average transaction fee for Ethereum (ERC20) is $9.65, for Binance Smart Chain (BEP20) is $0.15, and for TRON (TRC20) is $0.01. Therefore, based on these numbers, TRC20 is the cheapest option to send USDT to an address, followed by BEP20 and then ERC20.

However, these numbers are subject to change depending on the network conditions and the gas price you choose. Therefore, you should always check the current network fees before sending any transaction. You can use tools like GasNow for Ethereum, [BSCScan] for Binance Smart Chain, and [TRONScan] for TRON to monitor the network fees and gas prices.

I hope this helps you. Have a nice day! 😊

I think bep20 and trc20 also cheaper gas fees but most of people use it bep20 for low network fees with faster transaction. You should avoid erc20 network because there has lot of gas fees which isn’t comfortable for small and middle class investors. So you can choice anything for which best comfortable for your work

My personal experience is that BEP20 is cheaper than TRC20 in the past, yes, maybe TRC20, now TRC20 has changed the gas transaction fees, I think that's why I chose BEP20, it's cheaper. TRC20 is the second choice of network that I chose after BEP20

to be fair the fee that some exchange have for withdrawal or deposit depends on the exchange themselves, like this silly thing about eth gas fee, when it was cheap back then in exchange the fee is also cheap, but later on when gas fee suddenly increase at around the time where everyone is minting NFT and interacts with a lot of smart contract and the fee increase to as high as $100 then exchange raises the fee for eth significantly, but afterward, when eth fee aren't exceeding $2 the fee in these exchanges are still high even as high as $20 or more, thats the thing with exchange, can't really determine the real fee from these exchanges.

if the dapps that you are looking for are deployed in the L2 like optimism, arbitrum and so on it might be a good thing to use these blockchain instead since the fee is significantly cheaper also it save you from some complicated thing like the need to have native coin as a gas since L2 also uses ethereum, also most of exchanges accept ethereum from L2 anyway. it does really make it more convenient than dealing with BSC or TRON.
I personally has rarely used ethereum blockchain since as you know the fee is not affordable and so far L2 suffice in any way.

Both have very low fees. And both take less time. Centralized exchange TRC 20 is widely used. However, many exchanges do not yet support BEP20. BEP20 fees are very low.

Trc20 or Bep20 so in this we have if I talk then Bep20 is very strong and great system and Trc20 is such that its fee is also very high. As for Bep20, I think Bep20 has a lot of uses and a lot of people are using it in a good way and contributing to it in a very good way and a lot of it. More projects are being launched in Bep20 and compared to Trc20. But no one takes projectial interest in it, so Bep20 is much better than Trc20 in my opinion.

BEP20 is cheaper. either sending from a crypto wallet such as trust wallet or from an exchange. If I'm not mistaken TRC20 requires a fee of 1 USDT while BEP20 is only around 0.2 USDT  :)
I have made USDT withdrawals several times and the fees on each exchange are not much different.

BEP20 has always been cheaper indeed maybe because the centralized nature of the validator but overall it is i think among one of the most consistent when it comes to fee.
i remember when transaction peaked in BSC back then when metaverse was a thing and every little thing requires transaction BSC is the only one that consistently require low fees.
right now it has increased i think due to the fact that there has been something going in blockchain such as inscription and so on. i've seen many contract execution within the blockchain explorer these days with tron i think that has something to do with the fee overall.

thats true right now TRC20 increased its fee everywhere, i've seen plenty exchanges that have increased the fee for TRC20 significantly higher than using BEP20 or even using MATIC blockchain

We have seen that when Bep20 first started trading, its fees were much lower. But TRC20 network will definitely charge the same amount of transaction fee if you want to send. But now two networks are very popular and very fast you can transact here if you transact then you can do it conveniently anyway network free no matter and there is no gap.

BEP 20 is cheaper compared to TRC 20 you have to pay less fee in BEP20 while in TRC 20 charge one dollar fee so I will recommend you  BEP 20.
 The time required for transactions bath are approximately same but fee is a bit higher for TRC20 so we should use BEP20 which is quite cheap so we should use it because what we need is cheaper than the expensive one. If we get it, we should choose this thing because we should not waste the dollar that we have, we have it is better that we  use in the transaction. Only for the fee because the fee is less and we benefit from it.

Yes, Bep-20 or BSC platform tokens can be transferred from one wallet to another wallet very easily and with very low fees. For which its popularity and usage has increased the most. People now mostly use the BSC or Bep-20 platform to send USDT because the fees here are much lower than other platforms.

But now TRC-20 platform charges higher USDT withdrawal fee than BSC platform.Because today when I withdraw a few dollars amount of TRC-20 USDT from one of my wallets, 13.66 TRC fee has been deducted which is worth 1.52 dollars according to today's market. But if I want to withdraw the same amount of dollars from my trustwall to another exchange or wallet, it is only $0.08 which is very less compared to TRC-20 platform. So I always choose BSC platform i.e. Bep-20 to withdraw any stable coin because the fee is very low here.

BSC-BEP20 is a lot cheaper than TRC20 in centralized exchanges, and it is way cheaper in your local wallets. Last time i checked, it was about 1 USDT for using the TRC20 network and 0.56 USDT for using the BEP20 network. Whichever works well, it is better than other networks such as the ETH and MainNet.  If you would like other cheaper networks too, you can check the SOL, MATIC networks; they are cheap as well.

Binance Smart Chain is more adaptable with the transfer of assets between different ecosystems and L2 Ethereum solutions, and most decentralized ecosystems support stablecoins in this ecosystem. If you need to transfer assets from the Tron ecosystem, it will cost more.
But in some places TRC20 is more popular as payments, and there it is more profitable to use the Tron ecosystem.

both are cheap, but I use the BEP20 the most because I feel that it is the cheapest. In fact, in every transaction, I always prioritize BEP20 over others. However, I think for some transactions, the fee will not be that big. You just have to try it yourself and choose which one is suitable for you, and I see that the most recommended one to use with a low fee is BEP20.

I would rate TRC20 as my favorite network with low gas fee also the transaction speed is just WOW.. With its integration on the TRON network, investors can enjoy lower transaction fees and quicker settlement times compared to other cryptocurrencies. Most of the time I use it to transfer USDT or some other Alts and I jus love the Instant transaction speed, Well that's how users need for crypto transactions.

There was a time when I used Tron network a lot, Yes it's pretty high speed in transaction to compare other network, BSC and TRC both of almost similar in speed of transaction, Yes when I got a little bit high speed in transaction in tron network, but now Bep20 is cheaper in gas fees then Trc20. In some exchange in Bep20 transaction fees is lower then 1 USDT but in Tron minimum 1 USDT.

BEP-20 now or Bsc is lower compared to Trc20 op, where is your usdt in Cex or Dex? But it's better if you do the transaction at CEX, but of course it's still your choice to follow that matter,
not me, just my opinion.

Of the two, Matic or Polygon is the only one that is often used, or the fee is also low. It seems to be the same as BSC in my experience there, to be honest.


For now Trc20 ghot increased their fee's when to transaction in centralized exchange, just not so sure if in dex it is low.

both tron and binance chain offer quite affordable fees to users, but if you want to find which is the cheapest and more recommended i would say you should take binance chain. the fees offered by binance chain are cheaper than those offered by tron, and as for security itself, so far i haven't found any problems with it and the confirmation process is also quite fast. so because my experience is quite good using binance chain in usdt transactions, i would recommend binance chain to you.

Use Bep20. These days, TRC20 network is more congested and charges more fee than Bep20. I also think the BSC network is faster than TRON network cos I've been using both and I've been getting faster Bep20 transactions.

Both TRC20 or BEP20 are good but the sites to use will depend on the user which one he prefers to use. Although no evidence supports this claim BEP20 one of which is USDT is safer than TRC20 as they have been around longer than TRC20 tokens. That setup gives a higher sense of security. I also use BEP20 and its fees are getting more popular as it is cheaper.

Because Trc20 network is now very congested so it's fees also increased. I used Trc20 network just to transafer Usdt in my trust wallet to centralized exchange binance, fee's little bit increased this is right, if in binance chain fees is lower than Trc-20 so bep20 is my favorite, i don't need to use trc20.

agreed with this tron nowaday have quite many people that used it even fee in various exchange increasing nowadays it usually charges $2 if im not mistaken meanwhile BSC $1 max for many exchanges, if we are talking about stablecoin of course, but anyway exchange doesn't really care what asset we are moving anyway they'd charge sending native token or stablecoin the same.
so I agreed in this regard BSC is better.
the good thing with BSC that people sweep under the rug is probably that many of its dapps feels really familiar with the one in ethereum maybe thats just me though but I think its a good thing to have.
overall if i have the chance i will always choose BSC over tron any days.

trc20 or bep20, I personally use the bep20 network more often because of habit and the fees are cheap and fast. My personal experience is that I prefer bep20 to trc20. For now, the cheap one seems to be bep20. If you are in doubt about comparing them, check for yourself which fee is cheap, but I personally prefer bep20

If considering by fee we can say BSC is more cheaper that is to say is less than $1 for transactions but looking at USDT-Trc20 is about $1+ at this point any one doing transaction or transfer between exchange to exchange would rather used usdt-bsc for cheap rate for them, but if like transferring to external wallet like trustwallet or other wallet including other exchange one can used usdt-trc20.
Sometimes it's more faster and quicker for payment/transaction confirmation. At least I have used it all these while and I've seen the differences.

     Yes, you are right. In other exchanges, BEP-20 is cheaper now, so BSC's network is often congested compared to TRC-20 because there was a time when I saw that TRC-20's fee was
1.2$ or more.

     But even though it's congested in BSC, it's still fine, and the funds that I'm sending arrive at the same destination address that I put in. And now it seems that the TC20 fee has
returned to only $1. But of course there are other still good network that we can still use it to avoid higher fee.

Ethereum has implemented the latest update which was helping to reduce the transaction fees for the L2 blockchains. Since, BEP 20 was also L2 blockchain and it means that transaction will have cheaper fees compared to the non L2 blockchain like tron which is not compatible to the EVM blockchain.
This is my main reason for shifting from the TRX blockchain to the BSC blockchain, considering the fees are very small these days. It requires less than a dollar to make a bunch of transactions.


True, but L2 will not make me feel so frustrated as ethereum did with its garbage slow blockchain, which cost me money that I used for lunch. Each Ethereum transaction nearly cost me 50 bucks, which is crazy.
You can imagine spending 500 dollars for around 10 transactions. This can be lower than it when ethereum blockchain gets congested. This makes me feel so frustrated and i jump to the tron but since the latest update cut fees for L2 blockchain and it makes me feel that if dealing with l2 like bsc network is right decision.

Just now i made a transaction of some usdt. Bsc Blockchain was charging lot before but now they made the transaction fee cheap and that's why people using bsc Blockchain more and more. Bsc Blockchain needs some cents to transfer while trx charge a bit higher. But some cents doesn't matter in my opinion. And when its about exchange, then trx network charge 1 to 1.2 usdt in most of exchanges for single transaction while bsc network might be charge 19 to  cents something in binance and others exchange will also charge lower like 35cents (some exchange charge equally for bsc and tron network). Both are faster also but now i think bep20 better.

this is indeed the case,tron blockchain does indeed cost more than BSC these days even most of exchange have raised the fee imposed towards withdrawal to the tron blockchain therefore personally I think BSC is better, also BSC scalability is so good even though there are significantly more dapps in BSC than in tron the fee remains low, I personally always used BSC these days never tron just because its just better.

most exchange i found only charges 0.2 USDT for transferring USDT for example and there are layer 2 of BNB called opBNB which has even lower fee if im not mistaken.
things already settled when it comes to finding lowest fee for transferring stablecoin its always BSC, hopefully ETH layer 2 could also follow this footstep of becoming low in gas fee required.

I often use both. But for shipping between exchanges then I prefer Bep20. But if the intended exchange cannot accept USDT deposits in the bep20 network. So I was forced to use trc20. but on the local exchange in my country there is an exchange that does not charge a fee for sending USDT within the TRC20 network. And I often use trc20 from that exchange. So the answer depends on which exchange you will send and receive from. But if it's between wallets then I prefer trc20.

TRC-20 is like a fast train on Tron, BEP-20 is like a fun playground on Binance. Either go for fast train or fun playground.

This is not a secret and it is clear and we all know that transaction fees on the TRC-20 and BEP-20 networks are very cheap for transactions or when we want to move funds.
