What goes wrong on TRON
- Sending TRX to an Ethereum 0x address. Different chain, no recovery.
- Confusing TRX the coin with TRC20 USDT the token. They share an address and a network but are different assets.
- Spending all bandwidth and then being unable to send. Bandwidth refills over time or can be covered by holding TRX.
Tron gives every account a small daily allowance of bandwidth, which is why small transfers can genuinely cost nothing.
Because TRX and TRC20 USDT share one address, always check which asset you are actually sending before you confirm.
You can follow any transfer yourself on Tronscan, which is the public record for this chain.
