Every USDT TRC20 transfer you make costs TRON Energy — whether you hold it, rent it, or let the network burn TRX. Here is what it costs right now:

📄The Automatic Way
TronLink scans the chain and lists tokens you hold. If you received USDT, it normally appears on the home screen with no action needed. Check your transaction on TronScan first — if the token is there, TronLink will show it.
The automatic listing works because TronLink reads your on-chain balance directly. If USDT is not showing, the most common cause is that the balance is zero on-chain — check TronScan before touching the manual add flow.
📄The Manual Way
- 1Open TronLink
Home screen → asset list.
- 2Tap Add / Custom token
Depending on your version, a + or “Manage Assets” button.
- 3Select TRC20
Token type.
- 4Paste the official contract
TR7NHqjeKQxGTCi8q8ZY4pL8otSzgjLj6t.
- 5Verify the result
Name: Tether USD · Symbol: USDT · Decimals: 6.
- 6Confirm
USDT now appears in your list.
Only ever use the official contract address (why it matters). A wrong address adds a fake token — how to spot them.
| Field | Must Show | If It Shows Something Else |
|---|---|---|
| Contract | TR7NHqjeKQxGTCi8q8ZY4pL8otSzgjLj6t | You pasted the wrong address — cancel |
| Name | Tether USD | Fake or wrong token — cancel |
| Symbol | USDT | Fake or wrong token — cancel |
| Decimals | 6 | Fake or wrong token — cancel |
📄Troubleshooting
- Token arrived but not shown → re-add via the official contract.
- Balance shows 0 → confirm the TXID on TronScan; the transfer may not have completed.
- Fake tokens appeared → hide them; never interact.
One more: if the balance shows but the wallet says “insufficient energy/TRX,” that is a sending problem, not a display problem — your tokens are fine, you just need energy to move them.
