To deposit USDT on TRON, pick Tether USD (Tron) on the Skroll deposit page, send the exact amount it shows to the one-time address it gives you, and make sure your wallet sends it over the TRON (TRC20) network. In your wallet you need the USDT itself plus a little TRX to pay the network fee, unless you send from an exchange, which charges its own fee instead.
This guide walks through the five steps on a phone, compares the five USDT networks our cashier accepts, and lists the mistakes that cost people money. Read the mistakes section before you send anything: a crypto transfer cannot be reversed.
Before you start: what you need
- A Skroll account. Deposits are made from your account, so sign in first.
- USDT on TRON. Either in a self-custody wallet that supports TRON (addresses start with a capital
T), or on an exchange that lets you withdraw USDT on the TRON / TRC20 network. - Some TRX, if you send from your own wallet. On TRON, a USDT transfer uses two network resources, bandwidth and energy. If your wallet does not have enough of them, it burns TRX to cover the fee. With no TRX at all, the transfer will fail. Your wallet shows the estimated fee before you confirm.
- Nothing extra if you send from an exchange. The exchange pays the TRON network fee and charges you its own withdrawal fee, usually taken out of the amount you type. That detail matters in step 4.
The network fee is paid to the TRON network by the sender. Skroll does not charge a deposit fee.
How to deposit USDT (TRC20) in five steps
Step 1: open the deposit page
Tap Deposit in the bottom bar (or in the menu). If you are claiming the 100% first-deposit bonus, enter your bonus code in the Have a bonus code? box at the top and tap Apply now. The match is only added if a code is active on your account when the deposit completes, so it cannot be added afterwards.
Step 2: choose Tether USD (Tron)
In the currency list, pick Tether USD (Tron). The network is shown as Tron. Do not pick Tron (TRX) by mistake: that option is for the TRX coin, not for USDT. The coin card and the next screen show the minimum deposit for this coin. The minimum comes from our payment processor and can change with network conditions, so always check it on the screen instead of relying on an old number.
Step 3: enter the amount and create the address
Type how much USDT you want to send. The page shows an estimate of what you will receive on your balance, then tap Deposit. You get a QR code, a wallet address and the amount to send, marked (+fee). That is the amount that must arrive at the address in full; any fee your wallet or exchange charges comes on top of it, never out of it.
This address is created for this one deposit. Do not save it and reuse it later, and do not send several transfers to it.
Step 4: send from your wallet or exchange
- Tap Copy next to the address (or scan the QR code with your wallet from another device).
- In your wallet or exchange, choose USDT and the network TRON / TRC20. Exchanges often list several networks for USDT; pick the one called TRON, TRX or TRC20.
- Paste the address, then compare the first four and the last four characters with the deposit page. Clipboard malware exists; this check takes five seconds.
- Enter the amount. If you send from an exchange, check whether its withdrawal fee is taken out of the amount you type. If it is, add the fee on top, so the amount that actually arrives is not smaller than the amount on the deposit page.
- Confirm the transfer.
Step 5: tell us you sent it and watch the status
Back on the deposit page, tap I Already Sent so we can track the payment. Your balance is credited automatically after the TRON network confirms the transfer and our payment processor marks it complete. You can follow it under Account → Balance History → Deposits, where it shows as Pending until it is Completed.
TRC20 vs ERC20, BSC, Solana and Polygon at Skroll
USDT exists on several blockchains. A dollar of USDT is a dollar on any of them, but each network is a separate road: coins sent on one network never arrive on another. Our cashier accepts USDT on five networks, and each one has its own entry in the currency list.
| Cashier option | Network | Address looks like | You pay the network fee in | Typical block time |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tether USD (Tron) | TRON (TRC20) | T… | TRX (energy / bandwidth) | about 3 seconds |
| Tether USD (Ethereum) | Ethereum (ERC20) | 0x… | ETH (gas) | about 12 seconds |
| Tether USD (BSC) | BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) | 0x… | BNB | a few seconds or less |
| Tether USD (Solana) | Solana | long letters and numbers, no 0x | SOL | under a second |
| Tether USD (Polygon) | Polygon | 0x… | POL (formerly MATIC) | about 2 seconds |
Why TRC20 is popular: TRON addresses are easy to recognise (they start with T), blocks are quick, and most exchanges support it. Its weak point is the fee: without energy, a USDT transfer burns TRX, so compare the fee your wallet quotes with the other networks. Ethereum is usually the most expensive way to move USDT when busy. Ethereum, BSC and Polygon share the 0x… address format, so choose their network with extra care. The full comparison of all 17 coins covers the rest of the cashier.
Minimum deposit, and what happens if you send less
The minimum for USDT on TRON is shown on the deposit screen next to the coin. It is set by our payment processor and changes with network conditions.
A deposit below the minimum, or smaller than the amount on your deposit screen, is not credited, and it is not refunded. The blockchain does not give it back, and we cannot return it. If your deposit history shows Partially Paid, the deposit page asks you to send the missing difference (plus the network fee) to the same address; if the payment is never completed, the funds already sent are lost.
The simple rule: send at least the amount the deposit screen shows, and add any exchange fee on top.
How long until it shows on your balance
TRON adds a block every few seconds, so a normal TRC20 deposit is usually credited within minutes of sending. It can take longer when the network is busy or when the payment processor needs extra confirmations. Your wallet or exchange gives you a transaction ID (TxID); you can paste it into a TRON block explorer such as Tronscan to see whether the transfer is confirmed and which address it went to.
Deposits are credited after network confirmations, never before: we cannot speed up the blockchain.
Common mistakes that lose money
- Choosing the wrong network. Sending USDT on Ethereum, BSC or any other chain to a TRON deposit address means the coins never arrive. They are lost and cannot be refunded. Match the network on the deposit screen exactly.
- Sending the wrong coin. TRX sent to a USDT deposit address, or USDT sent to a TRX address, is a wrong-coin deposit and is lost.
- Sending less than the screen shows. This is usually an exchange fee taken out of the amount. Add the fee on top.
- Reusing an old address. Each deposit address is for one payment only. Create a new deposit every time.
- Typing or pasting the wrong address. Always copy with the button and check the first and last characters.
- Running out of TRX. A self-custody transfer with no TRX for energy fails; top up a little TRX first.
If a deposit still has not appeared, work through our checklist for missing deposits. It explains what to check, what to send support, and what cannot be undone.
After your deposit
Your balance is held in site coins, valued in US dollars, so USDT is the simplest coin to deposit: the amount you see does not move with crypto prices while it is in transit. When you later want to cash out, every withdrawal is reviewed by a person and approved within 24 hours; here is how withdrawals work. For anything not covered here, see the deposit questions in our FAQ, or browse the slots once your balance is in.
