Native coins – what is it and how to use it correctly

About native coins

A native coin (cryptocurrency) is a digital asset that is inextricably linked to its blockchain and is an integral part of it. Native coins are transferred from wallet to wallet, paying a network fee (a miner's fee). That is, when you send a balance to another wallet, a small portion of that balance you will "give" to the miners to validate your transaction.

Bitcoin (BTC) and Omni Layer

The native coin of the Bitcoin blockchain is BTC. The most famous and common token in the Bitcoin blockchain is Tether Omni (USDT).

The native coin of the Ethereum blockchain is ETH. The most famous and widespread token in the Ethereum blockchain is Tether ERC20 (USDT).

To send USDT ERC20 transactions to another wallet, the user must pay a network fee in ETH. 

This also applies to all other Ethereum blockchain tokens: USD Coin (USDC), Dai Stablecoin (DAI), Paxos Standart (PAX), KyberNetwork (KNC), OMG Network (OMG), Shiba Inu (SHIB), Aave Token (AAVE), Balancer (BAL), Compound (COMP), Chainlink (LINK), Maker (MKR), Polygon (MATIC), Uniswap (UNI), Wrapped BTC (WBTC) and others.

Tron and TRC10, TRC20

The native coin of the Tron blockchain is TRX. The most famous and common token in the Tron blockchain is Tether TRC20 (USDT).

To send USDT TRC20 transactions to another wallet, a user must spend certain resources of the Tron blockchain platform: energy and bandwidth (TRC10 tokens consume bandwidth, TRC20 tokens consume both bandwidth and energy). These resources are replenished and accumulated in the process of staking the TRX cryptocurrency. If you use TRX staking, then token transactions do not consume the native coin, meaning that sending assets becomes free. Otherwise, it is required to pay a network fee with TRX.

This also applies to all other Tron blockchain tokens: BitTorrent (BTT), Wink (WIN), Just (JST), SUN (SUN), ApeNFT (NFT), Dogecoin TRC20 (DOGE) and others.

Recommended transaction fee: 36 TRX

The native coin of the Binance Smart Chain blockchain is BNB SC. The most famous and widespread Binance Smart Chain blockchain token is Binance USD (BUSD).

To send BUSD BEP20 transactions to another wallet, the user must pay the network fee in BNB SC.
