Why can't I withdraw tokens to other wallets?

You cannot send tokens such as USDT if you don't have enough of the blockchain's native token to pay the gas fee. Every transaction on a blockchain, including USDT transfers, requires a gas fee paid in that chain's native token, not in USDT itself.

Understanding Token blockchain standards

Tokens like USDT (Tether) may exist on multiple blockchains, each with its own gas fee token. The two most common standards are:

  • USDT ERC20 is issued on the Ethereum blockchain. To send USDT ERC20, you must hold ETH (Ethereum) in the same wallet to cover the gas fee.

  • USDT TRC20 is issued on the Tron blockchain. To send USDT TRC20, you must hold TRX (Tron) in the same wallet to cover the gas fee.

The same rule applies to any token: you always need the native token of that token's blockchain to pay the gas fee.

Which native token does each blockchain require?

  • Ethereum (ERC20 tokens) → ETH

  • Tron (TRC20 tokens) → TRX

  • Solana (SOL and SPL tokens) → SOL

  • BNB Smart Chain (BEP20 tokens) → BNB

  • Base (ERC20 Base tokens) → ETH BASE

USDT is available on various blockchains. The most common standards are USDT-ERC20 and USDT-TRC20.

What is a gas fee?

A gas fee is the fee required by a blockchain to process and confirm a transaction. On Coin98 Super Wallet, the gas fee displayed before you send is an estimate, the actual fee may be higher depending on real-time network conditions. If your native token balance is too close to the estimated fee, the transaction may still fail. Always keep a buffer above the estimated amount.

FAQs

Why does Coin98 Super Wallet show a gas fee error when I try to send USDT?

This usually means your wallet doesn't have enough of the blockchain's native token (e.g., ETH for USDT ERC20, or TRX for USDT TRC20) to pay the gas fee. Deposit the native token and try again.

Can I pay the gas fee using USDT?

No. Gas fees must be paid in the native token of the blockchain on which the transaction runs. You cannot use USDT itself to cover gas.

Why is the gas fee on Coin98 Super Wallet an estimate?

Gas fees fluctuate in real time based on network congestion. The fee shown in Coin98 Super Wallet is calculated at the moment you initiate the transaction, but the actual fee charged by the network may differ. Always maintain a small buffer above the displayed estimate.

What happens if I don't have enough native tokens for the gas fee?

The transaction will fail and will not go through. Your token balance will remain unchanged, but you may lose a small amount of native token if the transaction was partially broadcast. Make sure your native token balance exceeds the estimated gas fee before sending.

How do I know which native token I need for my USDT transfer?

Check which blockchain your token is on ERC20 (Ethereum), TRC20 (Tron), BEP20 (BNB Smart Chain), etc. Then, ensure you hold the corresponding native token: ETH, TRX, or BNB, respectively.
