📄Step-by-Step
- 1Open the exchange deposit page
USDT → Deposit → TRC20.
- 2Copy the deposit address
The T-address shown.

Address + memo are like an apartment building + unit number. The transfer can’t be auto-credited without both. Full explanation in the memo guide.
| Step | Common Error | The Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Copy address | Typed instead of copied | Always copy-paste |
| Copy memo | Skipped it entirely | It is required if shown |
| Network | Sent ERC20 by default | Force TRC20 |
| Amount | Below the deposit minimum | Check the min first |
📄Why Memos Exist
Exchanges use one shared TRON address for all users. The memo tells them whose deposit it is. Without it, the funds land in a suspense account until support credits them manually.
A common confusion: wallets that do not show a memo field (like TronLink for wallet-to-wallet sends) may still let you add one. If your wallet has no memo field but the exchange requires one, use a different wallet or the exchange’s app flow — never send without it.
📄Confirming the Deposit
Check the TXID on TronScan (status Success), then watch the exchange balance — it updates once their system processes the block, usually within 1–15 minutes. If it stays pending for hours, contact support with the TXID. See troubleshooting.
📄Common Mistakes
- Forgetting the memo — stuck deposit.
- Sending ERC20 to a TRC20 deposit address — lost funds.
- Using an old deposit address — exchanges rotate them; always copy fresh.
The “old deposit address” mistake deserves attention: exchanges occasionally rotate deposit addresses. An address that worked last year may still accept funds — into an account you cannot easily access. Always generate the deposit page fresh each time.
