Paxful does its best to give users the option to save on fees for USDT transactions; that's why the TRON (TRC-20) Network was added.
Transaction fees on the blockchain can get expensive and are sometimes unpredictable. These fees are called Network fees and do not go to Paxful. They go to the blockchain networks to make sure your funds are safe.
Luckily, the fees in the TRC-20 Network are lower than the fees in older blockchains (such as Bitcoin and Ethereum).
What USDT does Paxful support?
For USDT (Tether USD) we allow two send-out options from your Paxful Wallet: Ethereum (ERC-20 USDT) and TRON (TRC-20 USDT).
Does Paxful charge a TRON USDT fee on send-outs?
You will be charged a network fee when sending USDT via the TRON (TRC20) network, and that's on top of the Paxful Wallet fee. For the full breakdown of fees, check out this article.
Which network does my wallet/exchange accept?
Typically, you can see that in the ‘Receive’ or ‘Deposit’ screen within your wallet. Look for either Ethereum (ERC20) USDT or TRON (TRC20) USDT. If you are given a deposit address, you can easily spot the Ethereum address by the ‘0x’ in the beginning, while TRON addresses start with a capital ‘T’.
Note: Make sure your wallet/exchange supports USDT transfers. Please never withdraw money directly to ICO addresses or services not designed to accept USDT.
What if I want to send USDT to another Paxful user?
You can still send funds to another Paxful Wallet by using a Paxful username or wallet address.
I want to withdraw the funds to my own wallet; what software should I use?
Your funds are safe in your Paxful Wallet, but if you want to keep USDT in your own wallet, you can find the software for your desktop or mobile device here:
Why won’t my transaction go through?
Make sure you copied the address correctly. Keep in mind that addresses are case-sensitive. Also, make sure your address is either Ethereum USDT (which starts with ‘0x’) or TRON USDT (starts with ‘T’).
