USDT is issued on various blockchains. To avoid unfortunate mishaps, users need to know how to differentiate wallet addresses on each blockchain.
Here are some ways to differentiate:
Check the first characters of the address: USDT addresses on Ethereum start with "0x", USDT addresses on Tron start with "T", etc. Networks like BNB Chain, Polygon, Heco, Fantom, Avalanche C-chain, etc., use the Ethereum virtual machine, so their wallet addresses resemble ERC-20 addresses. If users mistakenly send tokens from an exchange to one of these chains, they just need to add the corresponding network in their wallet and enter the token's smart contract to display it on the wallet.
Check the transaction token code: Each USDT transaction has a unique token code. Users can rely on this code to determine the blockchain where the transaction took place.

USDT (Tether) is issued on various blockchains, including Ethereum (ERC-20), Tron (TRC-20), and others. To differentiate USDT wallet addresses on each blockchain, you need to understand the specific address formats for each.
1. Ethereum (ERC-20):
- USDT on Ethereum follows the ERC-20 token standard.
- Wallet addresses for USDT on Ethereum start with '0x,' similar to other ERC-20 tokens.
2. Tron (TRC-20):
- USDT on Tron follows the TRC-20 token standard.
- Tron addresses typically start with 'T.'
Always double-check the blockchain and token standard before making any transactions. Using the wrong address format can result in the loss of funds. Most cryptocurrency wallets will automatically recognize the blockchain and display the correct format when you choose USDT as the asset to send or receive.
