Address rules
TRON addresses commonly begin with T. An Ethereum or BNB Smart Chain 0x address is not a native TRON destination.
Fee mechanism
TRON uses bandwidth and energy resources, with TRX covering resource acquisition or transaction costs when the wallet has insufficient resources.
Main safety check
TRX and USDT TRC-20 use the same network ecosystem but remain different assets. Verify both the ticker and network.
