A tron bridge moves your tokens to Tron from another network, or back. Here you choose the token you have, the token you want on Tron and sign once: a cross-chain route handles the bridge and any swap. On October 23, 2026, 0.2 ETH (about $480) from Ethereum arrived as about $477 of TRX in about 2 min.

Reverse the route: choose the token on Tron as the source and the token and network you want as the destination. Keep enough TRX on Tron to pay for the transaction.
Tron Tips
Sending TRC-20 tokens from Tron without staked TRX burns TRX for energy: about $24 on the outbound route below. Stake TRX for energy if you move USDT often.
Mistakes to Avoid
- No TRX for gas on arrival.
- Wrong address format: Tron uses T… (Base58) addresses.
- Fake bridge sites: use the widget or bookmarked apps, never links from direct messages; see crypto bridge safety.
