We regret to inform you that blockchain fees related to transactions on the TRC-20 network have significantly increased. This change is due to several factors, including the implementation of TIP 491 by the Tron Foundation, increased network congestion, and the current record high price of TRX, which stands at $0.28. As a result, the cost of blockchain fees for USDT transactions on the TRC-20 network has reached unprecedented levels. For more details about TIP 491 and its impact, you can read the article available at https://cryptapi.io/blog/post/usdt-trc-20-blockchain-fee-spike-due-to-tip-491.

In response to this situation, we have adjusted the minimum transaction amount for USDT over TRC-20 from $10 to $15. This change reflects the increased blockchain fees and is intended to maintain a smooth experience for all users. However, we may need to reassess this minimum in the future if blockchain fees continue to rise.

It’s important to highlight that higher blockchain fees impact low-value transactions more significantly than larger transactions, making smaller amounts less cost-effective. For this reason, we strongly recommend considering alternative blockchain networks, especially for low-value transactions. Networks such as BSC (BEP-20), Optimism, Avalanche, Base, Arbitrum, and Polygon offer much lower blockchain fees, often negligible or close to zero, and can provide a more economical option.

We are also pleased to share that support for the Solana network will be available soon. This addition will provide another efficient and cost-effective alternative for your transactions.

We understand that these increased blockchain fees are frustrating, and we remain committed to helping you navigate these challenges by offering a range of alternative solutions. Thank you for your understanding and continued trust.
