Save Up to 60% on TRON TRC-20 Transaction Fees

While Tron gained significant growth in the blockchain community, TRC20 transaction fees became pretty high when burning TRX to provide enough resources for a transaction. While writing this post, the cost of a USDT transaction is about 13.5 TRX up to 27 TRX which comes to 3 to 7 USDT depending on the exchange rate. Chaingateway.io used to address this with a Tron Paymaster service that covered the fee so the sending wallet didn’t need to hold any TRX. That service is deprecated; the way to cut these costs today is TronFuel.

Tron Paymaster Is Deprecated

Chaingateway’s Tron Paymaster automated the handling of transaction fees on the Tron blockchain: it covered bandwidth and energy so a wallet didn’t need TRX before sending TRC20 tokens. The service is deprecated. We recommend using TronFuel instead.

Cutting TRC20 Fees With TronFuel

TronFuel rents energy sourced in bulk from stakers and saves up to 60% on fees compared with burning TRX. It replaces Paymaster as the way to send TRC20 tokens without funding the wallet with TRX first. Integrations that already call Chaingateway’s legacy Paymaster endpoints continue to work.

Conclusion

If you’re moving TRC20 tokens and want to cut the fee, use TronFuel. Chaingateway’s Paymaster service, which used to cover this, is deprecated.
