Cheapest way to send USDT

The same USDT costs very different amounts to move depending on the network. Here's how they compare.

Figures are approximate and change with network activity — check the network's explorer for live costs.

Short answer: for USDT, Polygon and Tron (TRC20) are the usual go-tos — Tron because almost everyone supports it, Polygon because it's the cheapest. Ethereum (ERC20) is almost always the most expensive.

Cheapest option. Less common than Tron for USDT, but very low cost.
