Fees for the USDT transfer in the Tron network must be paid anyway, but it can be made through conditionally free “points”, which the blockchain awards to its users for “freezing” funds in their account.

“Freezing” is staking. The minimum period is 3 days. “Points” issuing occurs every day. 

“Points” can be Bandwidth Points (BP) and Energy. 

Mechanics of “points” receiving and conducting transactions

The TRON account receives 1500 BP for free from the system daily. Energy – 0. 

Transactions in the Tron network are paid that way, so available BPs and Energy are debited first, and then TRX are debited, which are, in fact, represent the Tron network currency. Debiting of missing “points” is carried out by the rate:

• 1 Bandwidth Points = 0,001 TRX;
• 1 Energy = 0,00042 TRX.

Fees are calculated based on the transaction weight (weight in bytes). To conduct a transaction with USDT in the TRC-20 protocol, you need both BP and Energy (analogue of Gas in Ethereum). BP is needed in an amount equal to the transaction weight in bytes. As for Energy, it depends on various factors, see the values in your wallet. 

So, now it is clear that the transaction fee can be paid with BP and Energy. 

It remains to obtain them in a required amount, which requires staking. 

How do I receive Bandwidth Points and Energy in order not to pay fees?

“Points” can be received upon freezing your cryptocurrency for any period of time. The minimum one is 3 days. Use a calculator to find out how many “points” you would receive.
