Creating a TRON TRC20 address takes just a few minutes and requires only a smartphone or computer. There is no registration, no identity verification, and no fee to generate an address. Follow the steps below to get started.
Method 1: Using TronLink (Recommended)
- Download TronLink from the official app store (iOS or Android) or install the browser extension from tronlink.org
- Open TronLink and tap "Create Wallet"
- Set a strong password for your wallet
- Write down your 12-word seed phrase and store it in a safe offline location. This is the only way to recover your wallet if you lose access to your device.
- Confirm your seed phrase by entering the words in the correct order when prompted
- Your TRC20 address is now ready — it will appear on the main wallet screen starting with the letter T
Method 2: Using Trust Wallet
- Download Trust Wallet from the official app store
- Tap "Create a new wallet" and accept the terms of service
- Back up your secret phrase securely — this is your responsibility
- Once the wallet is set up, navigate to the TRON (TRX) asset or search for USDT TRC20
- Tap "Receive" to see your TRC20 address
Activating Your Address
A new TRC20 address is technically valid but starts as "unactivated." To activate it fully and allow it to hold TRC20 token balances, send a small amount of TRX (even 1 TRX is enough) to the address. After the first TRX deposit is confirmed, the address becomes fully active and can receive any TRC20 token including USDT.
After Creating Your Address
- Test the address by receiving a small amount of USDT or TRX first
- Verify the transaction on Tronscan using your address
- Keep your wallet app updated to benefit from the latest security patches
- Enable biometric lock (fingerprint or Face ID) on your wallet app
