How to receive USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20)

To receive USDT, you give the sender your receiving address on one network, Tron (TRC-20) or Ethereum (ERC-20), and they send on that same network. Once the network confirms the transfer, the USDT shows in your balance. In Peppy, your address is on the Receive screen, and receiving is free.

This guide covers how to receive USDT step by step: finding your address, telling the sender which network to use, checking the address before you share it, and what you'll see when the money arrives.

Where do I find my USDT address?

1. Sign in at app.peppyworld.lat. Your email address needs to be verified first, and the app asks you to verify it before it shows a USDT address.
2. On the wallet page, tap Receive, then pick USDT on Tron · TRC-20 or on Ethereum · ERC-20. You can also open a USDT balance and tap Receive there.
3. The Receive USDT screen shows your personal receiving address for that network, as text and as a QR code.

The address is yours and it stays the same, so you can share it again next time. Your Tron address also receives TRX, and your Ethereum address also receives ETH. Those are the coins that pay each network's fee when you send.

Which network should the sender use?

The one you share an address for. Each network gives you a different address, and the switch at the top of the Receive screen moves between them: Tron TRC-20 and Ethereum ERC-20. A Tron address starts with T and has 34 characters. An Ethereum address starts with 0x and has 42.

Choose a network the sender can send on, then share that address. If you're not sure which to pick, USDT on Tron or Ethereum explains how the two differ.

The Receive screen puts the rule in one line: "Send only USDT on Tron (TRC-20) or TRX. Using another network may result in lost funds." On Ethereum, it says the same for USDT on Ethereum (ERC-20) or ETH. USDT sent on any other network won't reach your Peppy balance, and what happens if USDT is sent on the wrong network explains why.

How do I tell the sender which network to use?

Send the network with the address, every time. An address alone doesn't always show which network it's for: addresses that start with 0x are used on several networks besides Ethereum. The Receive screen gives you a button for each way to pass it on:

• Share details, where your browser offers it, sends your address with a line that names the network: "Send only USDT on Tron (TRC-20) to my Peppy Wallet address".
• Copy address copies just the address. Add the network yourself when you paste it, such as "USDT, Tron (TRC-20)".
• Save QR saves the QR code as an image. The code holds the address only, so name the network in your message.

Ask the sender to choose the same network in their own app before they send. It may be labelled Tron or TRC-20, or Ethereum or ERC-20.

How do I check my address before I share it?

Four habits keep the address right on its way to the sender:

1. Copy it, don't type it. Use Copy address or Share details, so no character gets mistyped.
2. Compare it after you paste it. Check the start, a few characters in the middle and the end against your Receive screen. Lookalike addresses are made to match the first and last characters of a real one, so the middle matters too.
3. Check the first characters fit the network. T for Tron, 0x for Ethereum.
4. Send it straight to the sender, in a chat or email you trust, and ask them to paste it rather than retype it.

Should I ask for a small test transfer first?

For a new sender or a large amount, it's worth it. Ask them to send a small amount first. When it shows in your Peppy balance, tell them it arrived, and they send the rest to the same address on the same network.

The test costs the sender one more network fee, because whoever sends a transfer pays its network fee. What they get for it is proof that the address and network are right before the full amount moves.

What will I see when the USDT arrives?

Peppy adds USDT to your balance once the network has confirmed the transfer. On Tron, a new block is usually confirmed in about a minute. On Ethereum, Peppy waits until the block is final, which takes about 15 minutes. So the same payment usually shows sooner on Tron.

When it lands:

• Your USDT · Tron or USDT · Ethereum balance goes up.
• Activity shows a USDT deposit with the amount and the network. Tap it to see "Received on Tron (TRC-20)" or "Received on Ethereum (ERC-20)", the date and the transaction ID, which you can copy.
• Peppy sends you a notice, under the bell in the app and by email, saying how much USDT arrived and on which network.

What if the USDT doesn't arrive?

• Ask the sender for the transaction ID, sometimes called the hash. Look it up on Tronscan or Etherscan to see whether the transfer went through, where it went and on which network. How to check a USDT transaction walks through it.
• Check the network and the address they used against your Receive screen. A transfer on another network, or to another address, won't reach your balance.
• Check the token. Peppy counts only USDT from Tether's own contract on each network, so a token that just borrows the name won't show.
• Ask Peppy. Open Help & support in the app and include the transaction ID.

Good to know

• Receiving USDT is free, and so is creating your address.
• You don't need TRX or ETH to receive USDT, but you do to send it. Why you need TRX to send USDT explains it.
• Blockchain transfers can't be reversed. USDT sent to the wrong address or network may be lost, so share the right address and check it.
• Stablecoins carry their own risks. A stablecoin can lose its dollar value, and its issuer can restrict tokens. What is USDT? explains both.
• Peppy is not a bank, and balances in Peppy aren't bank deposits.
