Overview
Learn how to get a TRC20 wallet address step-by-step. Create a TRON wallet to receive USDT TRC20, TRX, and other TRC20 tokens using TronLink, Trust Wallet, or TokenPocket.
Three easy ways to get your TRC20 wallet address
Mobile Wallet Apps: Download TronLink, TokenPocket, or Trust Wallet. Create a wallet and select TRON network to instantly get your TRC20-compatible address.
Exchange Deposit Address: On Binance, OKX, or similar exchanges, go to Deposit, select USDT, choose TRC20 network, and your TRON address is generated automatically.
Hardware Wallet: Ledger Nano supports TRON. Connect via TronLink browser extension to derive a hardware-secured TRC20 wallet address.
Save your mnemonic phrase safely when creating a wallet
When creating any TRON wallet, you receive a 12-word mnemonic phrase and a private key. These must be stored offline and never shared. The mnemonic allows full wallet recovery. Your T-prefixed 34-character address can be shared publicly to receive TRX and TRC20 tokens.
How to create a TRON wallet and get your address
Step 1 – Download wallet app: Install TronLink (desktop), TokenPocket (mobile), or Trust Wallet (mobile) from official sources only.
Step 2 – Create new wallet: Select Create Wallet, choose TRON network, set a strong password, and write down your 12-word seed phrase.
Step 3 – Find your address: Tap Receive in the wallet app. Your TRC20 address is displayed and it starts with T and is 34 characters long.
Step 4 – Verify on explorer: Search your address on tronscan.org to confirm it is a valid on-chain TRON address before sharing it.

Key Facts About TRON Wallet Address Format
A TRON wallet address in Base58Check format is always exactly 34 characters long and always begins with the capital letter T. This format uses Base58 encoding with a built-in checksum, making it case-sensitive and resistant to typos. The Hex format equivalent starts with 41 and is 42 characters long. TRC20 tokens including USDT on the TRON network use the exact same address format as native TRX, so one wallet address can hold both TRX and any TRC20 token simultaneously.
When validating a TRON address, first confirm it starts with T and contains exactly 34 characters. Use tronWeb.isAddress() for programmatic validation or check on tronscan.org. Never send TRX or TRC20 tokens to an ERC20 address (starting with 0x) as these transactions cannot be reversed on the TRON blockchain.
