Introduction
Are you using OKX Web3 Wallet and encountering issues when receiving USDT? Common problems include selecting the wrong network or being unable to transfer USDT despite having balance. This often occurs when your wallet isn't configured for TRON network or lacks sufficient energy (TRX). This guide covers two essential operations:
- Switching OKX Web3 Wallet to TRON Mainnet for USDT-TRC20 transactions
- Topping up TRX energy for seamless transfers
Part 1: Switching to TRON Mainnet
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Open the OKX app and navigate to your Web3 Wallet (switch from "Exchange" tab).
- Click the region/network icon in the upper-right corner.
Select TRON from the network options.
- ✅ Success indicator: Your wallet address will now begin with "T" (TRON format).
- Tap [Receive] → Choose USDT.
- Copy the displayed TRON-compatible USDT address for transactions.
⚠️ Critical Note:
Only USDT received via TRON network (TRC20) is compatible. Other networks like Ethereum (ERC20) will result in lost funds.
Part 2: Acquiring TRX Energy
Method 1: Manual TRX Transfer
Purchase TRX:
- In OKX Exchange, go to [Spot Trading].
- Search for "TRX/USDT" pair.
- Execute a buy order for TRX.
Withdraw TRX to Web3 Wallet:
- Navigate to [Assets] → Select TRX → [Withdraw].
- Choose "Other Exchange/Wallet".
- Ensure network is set to TRON.
- Paste your TRON wallet address (T...).
- Minimum withdrawal: 20.8 TRX (includes fixed 0.8 TRX network fee).
Confirmation:
- Verify address and network before submission.
- Wait for transaction completion (check wallet balance).
Method 2: Quick Transfer from Exchange
- In Web3 Wallet, tap [Receive] → "Quick Transfer from Exchange".
- Select TRX (auto-selects TRON network).
Link exchange account or manually enter:
- Destination: Your TRON wallet address.
- Amount: ≥20.8 TRX.
- Submit and confirm.
Key Considerations
- TRX Energy Requirement: Every TRON transaction consumes energy, funded by TRX balance.
- Fee Structure: TRON network charges a flat 0.8 TRX fee per transfer.
- Security: Always double-check addresses and networks before executing transactions.
FAQ Section
❓ Why can't I send USDT even with balance?

❓ How do I confirm my wallet is on TRON network?
TRON addresses start with "T". Check your wallet's network icon or address format.
❓ Can I use other coins for TRON energy?
