Follow-up questions
How is this related to TRON Energy rental?
TRC20 USDT transfers mainly consume Energy. When the sender lacks resources, wallets often show TRX burn; renting Energy makes the cost more predictable.
Which address should receive Energy?
Send Energy to the wallet address that initiates the USDT transfer, not to an exchange deposit address or final receiver.
