Every USDT TRC20 transfer you make costs TRON Energy — whether you hold it, rent it, or let the network burn TRX. Here is what it costs right now:

| What You See | What It Tells You | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| TRX balance | Your TRX holdings | Fee buffer, staking capacity |
| USDT balance | Your USDT TRC20 holdings | The number you actually care about |
| Token contract | TR7NHqjeKQxGTCi8q8ZY4pL8otSzgjLj6t | Confirms it is real USDT, not a fake |
| Token list | All TRC20 tokens you hold | Spot airdropped fakes to hide |
📄The Resources Tab
The Resources tab shows your Energy and Bandwidth: current balance, max capacity (from staking), and what’s being used. This is where you check whether you have enough energy for your next USDT transfer — or whether a provider’s rental actually landed on your address (rental guide).
Two quick uses: before a batch of sends, confirm the energy balance is green; after renting, confirm the delegated energy appears under your address. Both take ten seconds and prevent expensive surprises.
📄Checking Someone Else’s Balance
Same process — any public address is visible. Useful for verifying a business partner actually holds USDT, or confirming a counterparty’s payment. Just remember: balances shown on TronScan are real chain data; screenshots are not (verification guide).
📄Mobile
TronScan has an official mobile app with the same functionality. Wallets also show balances, but TronScan is the authoritative source when your wallet disagrees.
📄When the Balance Looks Wrong
Three common explanations: (1) the token is hidden in your wallet app — check TronScan first, it never hides anything; (2) the transfer was to an exchange, not your wallet — the exchange credits it internally; (3) you are looking at a different network — an ERC20 balance is invisible to a TRON explorer. TronScan settles all three in seconds.
