Six steps from address to transfer

The steps are the same for any wallet. The service only needs your address: your keys and wallet access stay with you.

Your first rentalUSDT TRC-20
  1. Step 01. Copy your address

    Use the address you will send USDT from: energy is spent by the sender. Copy it in full.

  2. Step 02. Work out the energy

    About 65,000 for a standard transfer and about 131,000 if the recipient’s address holds no USDT yet.

  3. Step 03. Rent energy in the app

    Top up your balance in the app, then enter your wallet address, the amount of energy and the rental period. You see the exact price before you pay.

  4. Step 04. Check the energy on TronScan

    Search for your address on TronScan. In the address resources, energy goes up by the amount you rented.

  5. Step 05. Send USDT

    Send the transfer from your wallet as usual, before the rental period ends. The network uses energy instead of TRX.

  6. Step 06. Energy returns on its own

    When the rental period ends, the energy goes back to the UsdtPull pool. Your wallet keys stayed with you the whole time.

How much energy a transfer needs

It depends on whether the recipient’s address already holds USDT. Without energy, the network burns TRX at 100 SUN per unit.

Energy per transferto scale
  • Standard transfer

    recipient’s address already holds USDT
    65,000energy
    without energy6.5 TRX
  • Transfer to a new address

    recipient’s address holds no USDT
    131,000energy
    without energy13.1 TRX
  • How to check the recipient

    Look up their address on TronScan and check its token balances. USDT is there: a standard transfer. No USDT: a transfer to a new address.

  • Not sure

    Rent 131,000. If energy runs short, the network covers the gap by burning TRX, and any extra energy returns at the end of the period.

  • Several transfers

    Add up the amounts and send everything before the period ends. Three standard transfers: 3 × 65,000 = 195,000 energy.

  • Frequent transfers

    For regular transfers there is always-on energy: energy kept on your address and topped up automatically after every transaction.

Where to find your address and how to send

Energy is tied to the address, not to the app. You do not need to turn it on in your wallet: the network uses it automatically.

  2. Open Receive for USDT and copy the address. It starts with T.

How to send

  1. Check on TronScan that the energy has arrived at this address.
  2. Open USDT on TRON, choose Send, paste the recipient address and the amount, then confirm.

TronLink

browser extension and app

Where to find the address

  1. Select the account you will rent energy for.
  2. The account address is on the main screen, with a copy button next to it.

How to send

  1. Make sure the selected account is the one that received the energy.
  2. Choose USDT in the token list, enter the recipient and the amount, then confirm the transfer.

Ledger

hardware wallet

Where to find the address

  1. Connect your Ledger and open the Tron app on it. On your computer, open your TRON account in Ledger Live or TronLink.
  2. Copy the address and check it against the device screen.

How to send

  1. Check on TronScan that the energy has arrived at your Ledger address.
  2. Choose USDT, enter the recipient and the amount, then confirm the transfer with the buttons on the device.

If something went wrong

Start with TronScan: the transfer details show how much energy was used and how much TRX was burned.

What to do if a USDT transfer did not go as expected
What happenedWhy it happensWhat to do
The transfer burned TRX
  • the energy went to a different address
  • the transfer was sent after the rental period ended
  • there was less energy than the transfer needed
  • TRX was charged for network bandwidth: a transfer uses it separately

Open the transfer on TronScan and see how much energy was used. Check that the address in your order matches the sender address.

The energy did not arrive
  • the address has a typo or a missing character
  • the order has not been completed yet
  • less than 10 seconds have passed since payment

Do not send the transfer until the energy shows on the address. Check the address in your order and email support with that address.

support@usdtpull.com

If an order is not completed, the money goes back to your balance in the app automatically.

Not enough energy
  • you rented 65,000, but the recipient holds no USDT
  • part of the energy went to another transfer

The network covers the gap by burning TRX, and if your TRX balance is low, the transfer may fail. Rent the missing energy and check it on TronScan.
