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

  1. Check your TRX balance — you need at least 15 TRX to cover energy costs.
  2. Freeze TRX to obtain energy: open TronLink → Resources → Freeze TRX for Energy.
  3. Alternatively, enable the "pay with TRX" option in your wallet to burn TRX instead of energy.
  4. Retry the transaction after your energy balance updates (usually instant after freeze).
