# First usdt transfer

Your very first USDT transfer works slightly differently from subsequent ones. Here is what to expect.

{% hint style="info" %}
**First Transfer Fee: $2.50** Your first transfer costs $2.50 instead of the regular $2.00. This is because Atom Wallets automatically sends a small amount of TRX to your wallet to activate it on the TRON network. From the second transfer onwards, the fee drops to a flat **$2.00**.
{% endhint %}

## Step 1: Enter Transfer Details

Fill in the recipient address and amount as usual. Notice the fee options:

* **Pay with TRX:** 6.78 TRX ($2.01)
* **Pay with USDT:** 2.5 USDT ($2.50) includes wallet activation

## Step 2: Wait for Processing (2-3 Minutes)

The first transfer takes **2-3 minutes** to process (longer than usual) because the app is activating your wallet on the TRON network.

{% hint style="success" %}
**You don't have to wait!** Tap **"Go Back"** to return to your wallet. You will receive a push notification when the transaction is complete.
{% endhint %}

## Step 3: Check Transaction History

After completion, your Transaction History shows:

* **Withdraw: -80 USDT** The amount sent to the recipient
* **Withdraw: -2.5 USDT** The network fee (includes wallet activation)
