Bridge fee landscape — Tron focused
| Bridge | Tron pairs | USDT fee | Speed | Custody |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TronBridge | 9 major chains | $0.10–$1.50 | ~30s | Non-custodial |
| Wormhole | Selected | $2–$8 | 2–10 min | Non-custodial |
| Allbridge | Wide | $1–$5 | 1–5 min | Non-custodial |

Notes
- TronBridge runs on Symbiosis Finance infrastructure — audited 13 times.
- Centralized exchanges typically beat bridges for very large amounts (5-figure+) due to flat fee structure. For typical amounts, non-custodial bridges win.
- USDT-TRC20 routing specifically is TronBridge’s native path; competitors often route through wrapping which adds latency.
Best path for your amount
- Under $100: TronBridge fastest, fees percent-significant
- $100–$5K: TronBridge optimal (cost + speed + non-custodial)
- $5K–$50K: TronBridge OR exchange withdrawal both fine
- Over $50K: OTC desk worth quoting; otherwise TronBridge
