TRC20 vs TRON

Fee Efficiency

All transactions on the TRON network use bandwidth, including TRX and TRC20 transactions. TRX transactions only require bandwidth, whereas TRC20 transactions require both bandwidth and energy. All addresses with a TRX balance automatically get 600 bandwidth per day. When your wallet lacks sufficient energy, it burns TRX to cover the shortfall — which is why fees can appear surprisingly high.

All addresses with a TRX balance automatically get 600 bandwidth per day. When your wallet lacks sufficient energy, it burns TRX to cover the shortfall — which is why fees can appear surprisingly high.

You can significantly reduce TRC20 transaction costs by freezing TRX to obtain bandwidth and energy. The more TRX you freeze, the more free resources you gain. Frozen TRX cannot be sent or used in transactions, and unfreezing takes 14 days.
