Hello, I am trying to avoid the withdrawal fee from BINANCE to PAXFUL to send some USDT, paxful only receive ERC20 USDT, and If I send directly (BINANCE 2 PAXFUL) the fee will be like 3USDT. So I saw that in TRUST WALLET you can receive USDT on ERC20 and TRC20. So I am planning on receive the USDT on TRUST WALLET and then sending them to PAXFUL.
Is my reasoning ok? IF I receive USDT on my TRUSTWALLET via TRC20 can I send them to Paxful via ERC20?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
You need to know that there are different protocols for Tether USD on ERC-20 or TRC-20. They are issued same by Tether but on 2 different networks with 2 different protocols.
To have a successful transaction, you need to have a match between sender and receiver (on same network and protocol).
- If sender is on ERC-20, receiver should be on ERC-20 too.
- If sender is on TRC-20, receiver should be on TRC-20 too.
Because you want to use Trust wallet, I think you should search for details from Trust wallet and should already read this article
Tether (USDT) TRC20 vs ERC20You can also read the article on Kucoin
USDT based on TRC20, ERC20 and EOSThe rule is universal applied because it is based on network protocol. Binance gives you warning for deposit and withdrawals (You can login your account and check it).
On
Paxful, when you create your Tether USD address (receiving), you will see the warning
You’ll be charged a network fee of approximately ~0.770597 USDT when you receive Tether in your Paxful wallet. Make sure that the amount you receive is worth more than this fee.
Make sure you’re sending only ERC20-USDT tokens to this wallet address. If you send any other USDT token, you may not be able to retrieve these funds.
The estimated fee above is dynamic (depends on network).
The warning means even USDT or ERC-20 tokens use ETH address, you need to send your USDT to your receiving address on Paxful. If you send ERC-20 tokens to that address, you will lose it. You don't have control of mnemonic seed of that ETH address, and you will lose it if you don't get support from Paxful. I doubt they will with the warning.
