USDT is the asset; the network is the route
Tether (USDT) can be available on more than one blockchain network. Labels such as TRC20 and ERC20 identify different network routes, so the asset name on its own is not enough to prepare a transfer.
Before you send or receive, open the relevant wallet or order in your account and read both the asset and the network shown there. The sender and recipient instructions need to agree.
Do not choose a network from a familiar label alone
A wallet address can look valid while belonging to a different network from the one you selected. Use the exact network displayed for the destination and confirm that the sending service supports that same route.
Do not select a network simply because another transfer used it before, because someone suggested it in chat, or because an address looks familiar. The order or wallet screen is the source to follow for that transaction.
Check the destination after copying it
Copying a wallet address reduces typing mistakes, but it does not replace a final review. Compare the first and last characters with the details displayed in your account, then make sure the selected network still matches.
If you are receiving USDT, share only the current receiving details for the asset and network required. Keep account passwords, verification codes, and recovery information private.
Pause when the route is uncertain
Network mismatches can make a transfer difficult to recover. If the required network is unclear, do not guess. Ask the sender or receiving service to confirm the asset and network before any transfer is submitted.
Once a transfer is complete, keep its reference and check the status in your account. That creates a clear starting point if you need help with the transaction.
