How to Send Tron Using TronLink Wallet
TronLink is the most widely used Tron wallet available as a browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and a mobile app (iOS and Android). It is the official wallet recommended by the Tron Foundation and integrates seamlessly with all Tron dApps.
Installing TronLink
You can install TronLink as a Chrome extension by visiting the Chrome Web Store and searching for "TronLink". For mobile, download TronLink from the App Store or Google Play. Always download from official sources — the official website is tronlink.org. Verify that the developer is "TronLink" to avoid fake wallets.
Creating or Importing a Tron Wallet in TronLink
When you first open TronLink, you can either create a new wallet or import an existing one using a mnemonic phrase or private key. If creating new, TronLink will generate a 12-word mnemonic seed phrase. Write this down and store it securely offline — it is the only way to recover your wallet. Never share your seed phrase with anyone.
How to Send TRX from TronLink
Step 1 – Open TronLink
Click the TronLink extension icon in your browser, or open the TronLink mobile app. Unlock your wallet with your password.
Step 2 – Select the Token to Send
On the main screen, you will see your TRX balance and a list of TRC20 tokens. Click on TRX or the TRC20 token you want to send (e.g., USDT).
Step 3 – Click "Transfer"
TronLink shows a Transfer button prominently on the token detail page. Click it to open the transfer form.
Step 4 – Enter Recipient Address and Amount
Paste the recipient's Tron address (beginning with "T") and type the amount. TronLink will also show you the estimated bandwidth usage and any TRX fee.
Step 5 – Sign and Send
Click Send. TronLink will ask you to enter your wallet password to sign the transaction. Once signed, it is broadcast to the Tron network immediately.
TronLink and Bandwidth / Energy
TronLink shows you your current bandwidth and energy balance directly in the interface. You can freeze TRX within TronLink (under the "Resources" tab) to obtain bandwidth and energy for free transactions. This is useful if you send frequently.
Freeze TRX in TronLink to earn bandwidth and energy — this can make most USDT TRC20 transfers completely free.
TronLink Security Best Practices
Always lock TronLink when not in use by clicking the lock icon. Never enter your seed phrase on any website or share it with anyone. Use a strong, unique password for your TronLink wallet. For large amounts, consider using a hardware wallet (Ledger) with TronScan instead of a browser extension.
