Why gas fees matter
Every on-chain transaction pays a network fee — 'gas'. When the network is busy, gas spikes; when it's quiet, gas drops. Timing your send can cut your cost dramatically.
When the Bitcoin network is cheapest
Bitcoin fees tend to dip overnight UTC and on weekends when global trading volume is lower. For non-urgent sells, batching your send into these windows saves satoshis.

Layer-2 alternatives
For USDT, the TRC-20 and Polygon networks cost a fraction of main-chain Ethereum. Choose the right network when withdrawing from an exchange — the same token on a cheaper rail reaches Barter Funds faster and cheaper.
Check before you send
Always confirm the network matches what the receiving address expects. Sending USDT on the wrong network can delay or lose the deposit, so double-check before confirming.
