In the token list, USDT (Tether USD) represents USDT TRC20 on the TRON network.

The balance shows two numbers:

The top number is the estimated USD value of your USDT.

The bottom number is the actual amount of USDT held in the address.

Lookup USDT Transactions
Click Transfer at the bottom, then select TRC20 on the right.

You will see the USDT TRC20 transaction history for the address. Transactions are listed in reverse chronological order, with the most recent transaction shown first. including:

  • Transaction Hash (TxID)
  • Transfer Time
  • Sender Address
  • Receiver Address
  • Amount

You can also filter transactions by time or by address to find specific transfers.

Step 1: Enter the Transaction Hash (TxID)
Paste the USDT TRC20 transaction hash (TxID) into the search bar on Tronscan.

A transaction hash (TxID) is a unique 64-character string made up of letters and numbers.

Example:

Step 2: Check the Usdt Trc20 Transaction Status

Frequently asked questions

What Is the Difference Between Tronscan.org and Tronscan.io?

These two websites differ only in their domain names and offer the same functionality. Users can use either one to check USDT (TRC20) transactions and address data on the TRON blockchain.Both domains are provided and maintained by Tronscan. In practice, tronscan.org is more widely used and more commonly referenced in official channels.

Why is my USDT balance on Tronscan different from my wallet?

The balance shown on Tronscan is usually higher than the USDT balance in your wallet.This is because the “asset value” on Tronscan represents the total value of all tokens in the address, including:USDT\TRX\Other tokens. However, most wallets only show the USDT balance. To check the correct USDT amount, go to the Token list and find USDT (Tether USD).This value is the same as what you see in your wallet.

Why can’t I see my USDT transfers in the Transactions tab on Tronscan?

USDT (TRC20) transfers do not appear under the “Transactions” tab on Tronscan, because this tab mainly shows TRX transfers.To view USDT transfer details, you need to click the “Transfers” tab next to “Transactions”.

Why Are There Other Tokens in My USDT TRC20 Address? Are They Safe?

Unknown tokens in your USDT TRC20 address are usually airdrop tokens sent by others. On the TRON network, anyone can send tokens to your address as long as they know it — no permission or action is required from you. These tokens are just records on the blockchain. The safest approach is to treat them as spam—do not click any links or interact with them.

Can I use Tronscan to check USDT ERC20 or USDT BEP20?

No, Tronscan only works on the TRON network. It helps you check USDT (TRC20) and other TRON-based tokens, including transactions, wallet addresses, and on-chain data. If your USDT is on ERC20 or BEP20, you need to use other blockchain explorers like Etherscan or BscScan to check your transaction or wallet.

Is Tronscan safe to use?

Yes, Tronscan is the official blockchain explorer for the TRON network. You don’t need to connect your wallet to use its search features. You can simply paste a wallet address into the search bar to check USDT (TRC20), TRX, and other token transaction history and balances.

Can I cancel or reverse a transaction on Tronscan?

No. Transactions on the TRON blockchain cannot be canceled or reversed once confirmed. Tronscan is a blockchain explorer, so it does not control transactions and cannot change them.So always double-check the address and amount before sending.
