What Is a USDT TRC20 Address? Format, Example and How to Get One
A USDT TRC20 address is a TRON address that starts with T and has 34 characters. See an example, how it differs from ERC20 and BEP20, and how to get your own.
A USDT TRC20 address is simply a TRON address — a 34-character string that starts with T, for example TMVQGm1qAQYVdetCeGRRkTWYYrLXuHK2HC. "TRC20" is the token standard on the TRON network, and USDT (Tether) is one of the tokens issued under it. There is no separate "USDT address": any TRON address can hold TRX, USDT and every other TRC20 token.
USDT TRC20 address example and format
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Starts with | T |
| Length | 34 characters |

| Example | TMVQGm1qAQYVdetCeGRRkTWYYrLXuHK2HC |
The official USDT contract on TRON is TR7NHqjeKQxGTCi8q8ZY4pL8otSzgjLj6t. That is the token's contract, not an address to send money to. For the technical side of how addresses are built, see TRON address format explained.
TRC20 vs ERC20 vs BEP20 addresses
| Network | Address looks like | Fees |
|---|---|---|
| TRON (TRC20) | T… 34 characters | low, paid in TRX (energy) |
| Ethereum (ERC20) | 0x… 42 characters | varies with gas, often higher |
| BNB Chain (BEP20) | 0x… 42 characters | low, paid in BNB |
Always select the same network on both sides. Sending USDT on TRON to a 0x… address, or choosing ERC20 when the receiver expects TRC20, can lose the funds. More in TRC20 vs ERC20 vs BEP20.

Check before you send
Paste the address into the TRON address checker: it confirms the checksum, shows whether the account is activated and who controls it. And copy addresses from the official source, never from your transaction history — see address poisoning.
FAQ
Is a USDT TRC20 address the same as a TRX address?
Yes. A TRON address holds TRX and all TRC20 tokens, including USDT. You share the same address for both.
Why does a USDT TRC20 address start with T?
Because it is a TRON address. TRON encodes addresses with the version byte 0x41 in base58check, which always produces a leading T.
Can I send USDT TRC20 to an ERC20 address?
No. They are different blockchains. Send USDT on TRON only to T… addresses and make sure the receiving platform supports the TRC20 network.
How do I know my USDT TRC20 address is correct?
It must be 34 characters, start with T and pass the checksum. Our address checker verifies this instantly.
