Insufficient Energy for TRC20 Transfer
Your wallet lacks enough TRX energy to cover the transaction fee. TRC20 USDT transfers require approximately 30–65 energy units.
How to Fix
- Check your TRX balance — you need at least 15 TRX to cover energy costs.
- Freeze TRX to obtain energy: open TronLink → Resources → Freeze TRX for Energy.
- Alternatively, enable the "pay with TRX" option in your wallet to burn TRX instead of energy.
- Retry the transaction after your energy balance updates (usually instant after freeze).
