That is what a USDT TRC-20 transfer consumes when the recipient already holds USDT. A recipient with a zero balance needs about 131,000, because the token contract has to create their balance entry.

What happens if I buy too little?

The transfer still goes through, but TRON burns TRX for whatever energy is missing. That is the expensive path this is meant to avoid.

Can I buy for several transfers at once?

Yes, up to ten in one order. The energy sits on the address for 15 minutes, so it suits transfers you are sending one after another, not ones spread over the day.

Does my balance have to be in TRX?

The balance is kept in TRX. You can top it up with either USDT or TRX — a USDT deposit is converted when it is credited.

Do I need an account for this?

For this path, yes. Without one, check the address on the home page and pay a one-off invoice instead; the energy arrives the same way.

How to buy 65,000 energy for one USDT transfer

65,000 energy is what a single USDT transfer costs on TRON when the recipient already holds USDT. Bought here it runs about 2 TRX; burned as TRX, the same transfer costs around 7.

This is the path with an account: the order is paid from your balance, placed in one click and kept in your history. If you would rather not sign up, pay a one-off invoice instead — that is the guide next door.

Choose the address that sends the USDT

Energy is spent by the sender, so this is your own wallet — never the recipient's. The book to the right of the field keeps your wallet, the last addresses you ordered for and anything you saved.

Leave the amount at 65,000 — one transfer

The counter beside the field says what the amount buys: 65,000 is one USDT transfer to a recipient who already holds USDT. Raise it and the energy follows — two transfers, three, up to ten in one order.

A recipient with a zero USDT balance needs about twice as much: 131,000. Exchange deposit addresses are usually in that group, so check where you are sending before you settle on the amount.

Check the total and buy

The total is the energy plus a flat fee for the delegation itself. It is taken from your balance the moment you press the button; if the provider refuses the order, the money is back before you can ask for it.

An address that has never been used on TRON is activated first, which adds a one-off fee to this order only.

Send your USDT within 15 minutes

The order appears below as Delivered, with the delegation transaction to check on Tronscan. The energy is rented for 15 minutes and then returns to its owner, so send the transfer now rather than later.

Sending after it has expired simply burns TRX as usual — nothing breaks, but the order is wasted.
