The short answer

A USDT address that starts with T is on TRON (TRC20), and one that starts with 0x is on BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) or Ethereum (ERC20).

A TRON address has 34 characters and a 0x address has 42. The same 0x address is valid on both networks, so the address alone cannot tell BEP20 from ERC20. You pick the network when you send, and Binance says the network must match on both sides. Dovo takes USDT on BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) only, so on Binance pick BSC (BEP20).

Check a USDT address

Paste the address you are about to send to. It is checked in your browser and never leaves this page.

This address is onBNB Smart Chain (BEP20) or Ethereum (ERC20)

This is a 0x address. It works on both networks and on other EVM networks. Pick the network the receiver lists.

USDT address formats by network

How to tell the network from the first characters and the length.

Which network is my address on?

USDT address formats by network: first characters, length, built-in typo check and whether Dovo takes deposits on it
NetworkStarts withLengthTypo checkDovo deposits
BNB Smart Chain (BEP20)0x42Yes, when mixed case (EIP-55)Yes
Ethereum (ERC20)0x42Yes, when mixed case (EIP-55)No
TRON (TRC20)T34Yes (Base58Check)No

TONEQ or UQ48Yes (CRC16)No

A 0x address is the same on every EVM network. The network you pick when you send decides where the USDT goes.

Wallets use these to show your USDT balance. Paste one into the checker and it warns you.

Questions

How do I know if my USDT address is TRC20 or BEP20?

Look at the start. A TRON (TRC20) address starts with T and has 34 characters. A BEP20 address starts with 0x and has 42 characters. An Ethereum (ERC20) address looks exactly the same as a BEP20 one. Paste it in the checker above to be sure.

Is a 0x address BEP20 or ERC20?

It can be both. BNB Smart Chain and Ethereum use the same address format, so a wallet shows the same 0x address on both. The network you pick when you send decides where the USDT goes. Binance says the network must match on both sides.

Which network do I pick on Binance to send USDT to Dovo?

BSC (BEP20). Dovo takes USDT on BNB Smart Chain only, and your Dovo deposit address starts with 0x. On 13 Oct 2026, Binance charged 0.01 USDT to withdraw USDT on BSC, and the smallest withdrawal was 5 USDT. Dovo cash outs start at 2 USDT, up to 200 USDT per 24 hours.

What happens if I send USDT on the wrong network?

It may be lost. Binance says it cannot get back tokens deposited to a Binance account on the wrong network. If you sent them to your own wallet that holds both networks, you can often send them back on the right one. Your Dovo deposit address is on BNB Smart Chain, so always send to it on BSC (BEP20).

What is the checksum in a USDT address?

It is a built-in typo check. In a mixed-case 0x address, the capital letters follow a hash of the address (EIP-55). The EIP says a random typo still passes only about 1 time in 4,000. A TRON address ends with 4 checksum bytes from a double SHA-256, and a TON address ends with a CRC16. An all-lowercase 0x address cannot be checked this way.

Can I send USDT to the USDT contract address?

No. The contract is the token itself, not a wallet. Wallets use it to show your balance. Always send to the deposit address the receiver shows you. The contracts are listed in the table above, and the checker warns you if you paste one.

Can I still receive USDT on a Bitcoin address?

Not new USDT. Tether stopped minting USDT on Omni, the Bitcoin layer, on 17 Aug 2023. It ended redemptions on Omni, Kusama, Bitcoin Cash SLP, EOS and Algorand from 1 Sep 2025. Tether lists 13 active USDT networks today, among them TRON, Ethereum, Solana and TON.

Is it safe to paste my address here?

Yes. The check runs in your browser, and the address is not sent or stored. An address is public by design: people need it to pay you. Never paste your recovery phrase or private key into any website.
