How to deposit USDT via TRC-20?

USDT deposit to IMBA Wallet accepts TRC-20 only (Tron TRC-20 token standard). Copy the address in the app, send USDT from an exchange or external wallet with TRC-20 selected — otherwise funds may be lost.

Steps

Four steps: copy address in the app → select TRC-20 on the sender side → verify details → wait for USDT balance credit.

1. Open Top up → USDT and copy the deposit address.

2. On exchange or external wallet choose USDT withdrawal, network TRC-20 (Tron).

3. Paste address, verify network and amount, confirm.

4. Wait for USDT to credit after Tron confirmations.

Important: Do not send ERC-20, BEP-20 or other networks to a TRC-20 address — recovery is usually impossible.

TRC-20 vs ERC-20: deposit and withdrawal
