Why a USDT transfer costs TRX
Every TRC20 transfer runs the USDT contract, which consumes energy. A wallet without energy pays for it by burning TRX at the network rate. Renting the energy for an hour costs a fraction of that, and the energy is delegated to your address — no key, no wallet connection. More: what a USDT transfer really costs, checked on chain.
