As you can see, there are two types of USDT - one has Ethereum written on top and the second Tron.
This is a difficult point at first glance, which can be confusing.
BUT we will now easily understand this and it will become clear to you
The fact is that one cryptocurrency can use different systems for storage and transmission.
Here we need to make a very small theoretical digression and briefly say that cryptocurrency is built on blockchain technology.
It is important for us now to understand that sometimes the same cryptocurrency can exist in two blockchain networks.
USDT has the Ethereum blockchain, the so-called Ether, and Tether’s own blockchain, which is called Tron.
And if we compare it with ordinary money, then we can very simply imagine that these blockchains are like two different Central Banks that issue the same currency, but slightly different from each other.
We most often use the Tron (Tether) network to exchange USDT and the fact is that transactions on it are cheaper than on the Ethereum network.
The Tron (Tether) network is often referred to by the abbreviation USDT TRC20. When you see one, it means that we are talking about the USDT stablecoin, which is sent through the Tron network.
And if the Ethereum network is used, then the abbreviation USDT ERC20 is used.
You can tell the two USDT apart from each other by their different logos.
