What is a standard like TRC-20?

TRC -20 is a technical standard that defines the rules for creating tokens on the Tron . For a token to be recognized by the network and compatible with wallets and decentralized applications , it must meet certain requirements: it must be able to be sent, received, displayed , and perform basic functions such as transfers or balance inquiries .

Similar to the ERC-20 standard used on the Ethereum , TRC-20 ensures interoperability between tokens and the Tron ecosystem. The main differences between the two networks lie in speed , significantly lower transaction fees transaction validation structure , which is more centralized on Tron.

What is a USDT TRC-20 token?

USDT (or Tether ) is one of the leading stablecoin in the cryptocurrency market, meaning an asset whose value is pegged to the US dollar USDT and payments, by both individuals and businesses. It exists in several formats, each operating on a different blockchain .

Among them, USDT USDT -20 , the version issued on the Tron blockchain , stands out for its speed and extremely low transaction fees . Unlike USDT USDT on the Ethereum (ERC-20), which can become expensive and slow during periods of network congestion, USDT USDT -20 allows for sending and receiving funds almost instantly and at a lower cost, making it particularly attractive for international transfers or microtransactions.

The Tron network was specifically designed to offer fast and economical transactions , which explains why more and more users — particularly in countries with high bank charges or underdeveloped financial infrastructure — are turning to the USDT TRC-20 as an efficient and accessible alternative.

How does the Tron blockchain work?

The Tron blockchain stands out for its ability to process a large volume of transactions quickly and at a lower cost . This efficiency relies primarily on the use of a consensus mechanism called Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) . Unlike blockchains such as Bitcoin or Ethereum , which use Proof of Work (PoW) or Proof of Stake (PoS) , Tron delegates transaction validation to a select group of 27 "Super Representatives" (SRs) , elected by the holders of the native TRX token .

These SRs are responsible for producing blocks and validating transactions , which significantly reduces confirmation time : a new block is created approximately every 3 seconds , allowing Tron to achieve a processing capacity of around 150 transactions per second (TPS) in real time. For comparison, Bitcoin reaches 13 TPS , Ethereum around 16 TPS , Base  100 TPS , and Solana  960 TPS in real time.

This speed and scalability make Tron a platform well-suited to decentralized applications ( dApp ) and frequent transfers , such as those involving USDT USDT the stablecoin on the Tron network. Users thus benefit from very low transaction fees and - instant confirmations , a major advantage for international payments and DeFi operations .

performance gain comes at the cost of decentralization . With only 27 primary validators Tron network is far more centralized than blockchains like Bitcoin or Ethereum , which rely on thousands of independent nodes to validate transactions . This centralization speeds up decision-making and block validation , but reduces the network's resilience to attacks or censorship . It also limits the direct participation of ordinary users in the consensus process , unlike systems where any token holder can participate in validation .

In summary, Tron prioritizes scalability and low costs , making it an attractive solution for many use cases , but at the cost of less decentralization compared to other major blockchains .

What is a decentralized wallet?

A crypto wallet is a tool that allows you to store , send , and receive cryptocurrencies independently, without intermediaries. It gives you your private keys and allows you to interact directly with the blockchain .

There are two main categories of portfolios:

• Hot hot wallet wallets connected to the internet) are often mobile applications, browser extensions, or software. They are convenient for everyday use and allow for easy management of multiple blockchain networks and token types (such as USDT TRC-20 on Tron or USDT USDT -20 on Ethereum ). However, their constant internet connection makes them more vulnerable to attacks.

• Cold cold wallet (offline wallets) offer maximum security by storing your private keys on a disconnected physical device. They are the recommended solution for storing large sums of money over the long term.

Major references in cold wallet

For cold wallet , two major brands exist: Ledger and Trezor .

• Ledger (Nano S Plus, Nano X, Stax) stands out thanks to its Secure Element chip , certified for maximum security , and its support for over 15,000 cryptocurrencies via the Ledger Live . The choice of model depends on the number of assets to manage and the desired features (Bluetooth, battery life, screen size, etc.).
