I'm confused about the difference between USDT ERC20 and USDT TRC20. Are they the same or different? If different, what are the key distinctions in terms of their address styles, the networks they use, and their security levels? Is USDT ERC20 the same as USDT TRC20?

Despite being issued on different blockchains, both TRC20-USDT and ERC20-USDT are functionally equivalent and retain the same value.

On the other hand, ERC20-USDT denotes the version of USDT issued by Tether on the Ethereum network.

One notable difference between the two lies in the transaction fees associated with transferring these tokens.

Often, transferring TRC20-USDT on the Tron network can incur lower fees compared to ERC20-USDT transactions on the Ethereum network.
