Crypto Network Fees: ERC-20, TRC-20 and Base explained
Understand networks, gas fees and the checks that prevent a wrong-network transfer.
What it means
A token name is not enough to make a transfer safe. USDT on TRC-20, ERC-20 and Base can use different addresses, fees and settlement paths.
How to read the data
