Cost to send USDC on TRON: $2.26
Live network fee for a USDC (TRC-20) transfer, updated 9 min ago.
Sending USDC on TRON currently costs about $2.26 in network fees (6.77 TRX), or $4.45 if the recipient has never held USDC on TRON. The fee is paid in TRX, not in USDC: keep a little TRX in the wallet or the transfer will fail.
USDC also exists on 10 other networks we track. All of them are cheaper right now — the cheapest is USDC on Sonic at $0.00014. Only switch networks if the recipient (wallet or exchange deposit address) explicitly supports that network.
On TRON, a TRC-20 transfer such as USDT consumes about 64,285 energy when the recipient already holds the token and about 130,285 energy when it does not. Without staked or rented energy, the network burns 100 sun (0.0001 TRX) per energy unit, i.e. 6.77 TRX ($2.26) or 13.4 TRX ($4.45) respectively. Each account gets 600 free bandwidth points per day, which usually makes plain TRX transfers free; activating a brand-new address costs about 1.1 TRX.
