TRC20, BEP20 or ERC20: which network should you send USDT on?
USDT runs on several networks. Here is what the names mean, why the network has to match, and how to choose one when you sell.
The short answer: use the network your wallet or exchange supports for withdrawals, and choose exactly the same one in VinX. USDT is the same coin on every network, but a deposit only arrives if both sides use the same network.
What TRC20, BEP20 and ERC20 mean
USDT is issued on several blockchains. The names tell you which one:
- TRC20 is USDT on the Tron network.
- BEP20 is USDT on BNB Smart Chain.
- ERC20 is USDT on Ethereum.
- Solana is USDT on the Solana network.

Why the network has to match
Each network keeps its own record of who owns what. If you choose TRC20 in VinX but send on BEP20, the coins go to a different chain from the one your deposit address is watching. A mismatched deposit may never arrive, and it can be hard or impossible to recover.
How to choose
- Check which networks your exchange or wallet offers for USDT withdrawals.
- Compare the network fee your exchange or wallet shows for each one. Fees differ by network and change over time, and the sender pays them.
- Pick one that both your wallet and VinX support, then choose that same network in the bot.
How to check before you send
- On your exchange's withdrawal screen, look at the network field and make sure it matches what you chose in VinX.
- Paste the deposit address from the bot. Don't type it.
- If you are sending for the first time, you can send a small amount first, at least the minimum, and send the rest once it arrives. For USDT the minimum starts from 1 USDT.
After you send
When your deposit confirms on the network, VinX credits its naira value to your wallet, and autopay sends it to your bank. The bot shows your exact rate before you send, so you know what to expect.
