Find the absolute cheapest way to send TRC-20 USDT on TRON. Compare TRX burning, staking, and batch energy rental to reduce transfer fees by up to 90%.
Slash your USDT (TRC-20) transfer fees by up to 88% — buy energy outright or rent it by the hour, delivered non-custodially in under 3 seconds, without freezing a single TRX.
Choose a rental window and send TRX to your dedicated ToFee address — energy is delegated straight back to that exact wallet automatically, with no manual claim step and no smart-contract approval required.
Compare the real monthly cost of burning TRX directly on TRON against buying or renting TRON energy through ToFee, based on your own daily USDT transfer volume — the more you send, the bigger the gap between renting and staking or burning TRX.

Copy the deposit address and send the required TRX.
We detect your payment on the network instantly.
Energy is automatically delegated to your wallet.
Burning TRX directly for a TRC-20 USDT transfer means paying the full network price on every single transaction. Renting or buying TRON energy through ToFee means paying only the market rate for the energy you actually use — see exactly what that difference is worth below.
ToFee plugs directly into TRON's native Stake 2.0 delegation engine, so buying or renting energy works out of the box with every major self-custodial TRON wallet — no browser extension or custom integration required.
Centralized exchanges (Binance, OKX, Bybit, KuCoin, etc.) broadcast transactions from shared custodial hot wallets. If you withdraw TRX directly from an exchange, energy will be delegated to the exchange's hot wallet instead of your personal address! Always transfer TRX to your self-custody wallet (TronLink, Trust Wallet, etc.) first before depositing.
Already staking TRX or holding more than you actively use? List your surplus energy on ToFee's automated liquidity pool and earn a continuous, non-custodial yield every time another user rents it from you — your TRX never leaves your own wallet.
Your TRX never leaves your wallet; only energy usage rights are delegated.
Our matching engine pairs orders and settles rental yields directly on-chain.
Dedicated high-yield liquidity agreements for holders with > 100,000 TRX.
Built for exchanges, OTC desks, and trading bots: the production-ready TronMax API lets you programmatically buy or rent TRON energy and bandwidth for one wallet — or up to 20 wallets in a single call — with sub-second on-chain delivery.

Unlike blockchains that charge variable flat gas fees in native tokens, TRON uses a dedicated resource model with two fundamental pillars:
A common question among TRON users is why some USDT transfers burn ~7.2 TRX while others burn up to ~13.5 TRX. The answer lies in the recipient address state: existing USDT holders consume 65k Energy, while new addresses consume 131k Energy.
For payment processors, OTC trading desks, payroll disbursements, and algorithmic bots, manual web checkouts before every transfer are inefficient. ToFee provides Dedicated Recharge Addresses with instant sub-3s autonomous delegation.
ToFee works seamlessly across all self-custody desktop, mobile, and hardware TRON wallets:
Send TRX to your dedicated deposit address. Energy is delegated to your wallet in under 3 seconds with zero custody risk.
