Upbit is the largest crypto exchange in South Korea, where most trading is KRW-paired, so your won is first converted to USDT before you withdraw. Once you hold USDT, the send is clean — the one Korean-specific gate is Upbit's travel-rule address verification: you register your destination wallet before it will let funds leave. Clear that once, pick the TRON network, and your USDT lands on Fish & Chips in a couple of minutes for a flat 1 USDT fee — we never charge anything on deposits.
TL;DR: Upbit → buy/convert to USDT → Withdraw → USDT → TRON (TRC-20) (not ERC20, not BEP20) → register and verify your TronLink address (starts with
T) → arrives in ~2 minutes → connect at fishnchips.io/wallet.
Step 1 — Install TronLink and copy your address
On mobile, install TronLink from the App Store or Play Store. Create or restore a wallet and write the 12-word recovery phrase down offline. If you lose it, the funds are gone — Upbit support cannot recover a self-custodial wallet.
Your address starts with a capital T and is 34 characters long. Tap it in TronLink to copy.
Step 2 — Withdraw from Upbit
- Sign in to Upbit. If you hold KRW, buy or convert to USDT first.
- Go to Withdraw (출금) and select USDT.
- Network: choose TRON (TRC-20). This is the single step that can lose your money.
- Register your TronLink address and complete Upbit's travel-rule verification for the destination. Confirm with 2FA and the email/app prompt Upbit sends.
- Enter the amount and submit. Approve the final confirmation.
| Network | Upbit fee | Arrival time | Works for Fish & Chips? |
|---|---|---|---|
| TRON (TRC-20) | ~1 USDT | ~2 min | ✅ Yes |
| ERC20 (Ethereum) | 3–15 USDT | 1–5 min | ❌ Lost funds |
| BEP20 (BNB Chain) | ~0.5 USDT | ~30s | ❌ Lost funds |
Step 3 — Confirm on Fish & Chips
Open fishnchips.io/wallet, tap Connect Wallet, and approve TronLink. Within about a minute of the Tron block confirming, the deposit posts to your balance at 1 USDT = 1,000 points. Your first-ever deposit also triggers the welcome bonus — a 50% match capped at 5,000 points.
You can verify the transfer on Tronscan: search your address and the latest inbound USDT transfer should read "Success".
Common mistakes to avoid
- Skipping the travel-rule verification. Upbit will not release USDT to an external wallet until the destination is registered and verified. Do it once and it's remembered.
- Leaving the network on ERC20 or BEP20. Always re-check TRON (TRC-20) before you confirm — the other networks never arrive on Fish & Chips.
- Forgetting to convert KRW first. Upbit trades in won; buy USDT before you try to withdraw.
- Sending dust amounts. Fund at least 10 USDT so you can comfortably withdraw winnings later (our minimum cash-out is 10 USDT).
- Pasting an exchange address. Use your own TronLink address, never another exchange's deposit address.
Once your first deposit lands, every future one takes about 30 seconds because both TronLink and Upbit's verified-address list remember the address. New here? Read the TRC-20 vs ERC-20 explainer before you send, or head to the arcade lobby for Fish Hunter and Dragon King.
Frequently asked questions
How do I pick the TRC-20 network on Upbit?
On Upbit, go to Withdraw (출금), select USDT, then choose the network. Pick 'TRON (TRC-20)' rather than Ethereum (ERC-20) or BNB Chain. TRC-20 is the same Tron rail Fish & Chips accepts and the cheapest option Upbit offers for USDT.
Why does Upbit make me verify the destination address first?
Upbit is a Korean exchange and follows the travel rule, so before it sends to an external wallet it asks you to verify the destination address and, for some wallets, confirm who owns it. Self-custodial wallets like TronLink are supported — you register the address once, clear the verification, and reuse it on every future deposit.
What is Upbit's withdrawal fee for USDT TRC-20?
Around 1 USDT, flat, on the TRON (TRC-20) network. It's the same fee whether you send 20 USDT or 2,000 USDT, which makes Tron the cheapest way out of Upbit — far below the Ethereum (ERC-20) fee.
What is Upbit's minimum USDT TRC-20 withdrawal?
Upbit's USDT withdrawal minimum is small (a few USDT), but to actually withdraw winnings later you need at least 10 USDT on Fish & Chips (our minimum cash-out), so funding 10 USDT or more from the start is the cleanest path.
