USDT networks explained: TRC20, ERC20 and BEP20
TRC20, ERC20 or BEP20? How USDT networks differ, how to recognise each address, why the wrong network can lose funds, and how to send USDT safely in Lebanon.
What networks does LeBaCoin support for each asset?
Bitcoin is sent on the Bitcoin network, Ethereum on Ethereum and Solana on Solana. USDT is sent on TRC20 (TRON) by default, with ERC20 and BEP20 available on request. Always confirm the network with LeBaCoin on WhatsApp before sending or receiving.
How to send USDT safely: a five-step check
1. Ask the receiver for the network name in writing — “USDT on TRC20”, not just an address. 2. Select exactly that network on your withdrawal or send screen. 3. Paste the address, then compare the first and last five characters with the original. 4. For a new address, send a small test amount first and wait for it to arrive. 5. Only use addresses received through official channels. Never trust an address from a forwarded screenshot or an unknown number.
Which network does LeBaCoin use for USDT?
LeBaCoin quotes USDT on the TRC20 (TRON) network. If you need to use a different network, confirm it with us on WhatsApp before sending or receiving anything.
Is USDT on TRC20 worth the same as USDT on ERC20?
Yes. Both are USDT issued by Tether and designed to track the US dollar. Only the blockchain that carries the token is different.
Can I send USDT from TRC20 to an ERC20 address?
No. A transfer stays on the network it was sent on. Most wallets reject a TRC20 transfer to an address starting with 0x, but ERC20 and BEP20 addresses look identical, so a wrong-network transfer between those two can go through and be difficult or impossible to recover.
Which USDT network is cheapest?
It depends on how busy each network is. ERC20 transfers are often the most expensive when Ethereum is congested. Always check the fee your wallet or exchange shows on the confirmation screen before you send.
