TRON · ENERGY SUPPLY
TRON lets you pay for a transaction two ways: burn TRX, or supply Energy. Almost every wallet quietly picks the first one. Rent the Energy instead and the same transfer costs about a fifth — settled to your own address, no custody, no contract to sign.
YOU KEEP, PER MONTH
—
— off network cost · — energy per month
Assumes {{energy_known_fmt}} energy per transfer, a burn price of {{burn_sun}} sun per energy unit and TRX at ${{trx_usd}}. Live figures move with the network.
THE TWO METERS
A TRC-20 transfer needs a fixed amount of Energy. Where that Energy comes from is the only thing that changes — and it is the whole difference in what you pay.
METER A · DEFAULT
Your address has no Energy, so the network takes TRX out of your balance and destroys it to cover the cost. Nothing is refunded, nothing is reusable. This is what wallets do when you do not tell them otherwise.
≈ — per transfer
METER B · SUPPLIED
We stake TRX and delegate the resulting Energy to your address for a fixed window. Your transfers draw on that Energy instead of your balance. When the window ends the delegation simply lapses.
≈ — per transfer
Delegation is a native TRON resource operation. It grants your address the right to consume Energy — it cannot move, freeze, or spend anything you hold. You send us an address, not a key, and never a signature.
TARIFF SCHEDULE

SUPPLY SEQUENCE
STEP 01
Message the desk with your TRON address, the energy block you want and the window. If you are not sure what you need, send your transfer volume and we will size it.
STEP 02
One payment to the desk address, charged at the confirmed rate. No account, no deposit held against you, no subscription running in the background.
STEP 03
The delegation appears on your address and your wallet stops burning TRX. Nothing changes in how you send — the cost simply drops.
MACHINE ORDERS
If you batch withdrawals, order the Energy in the same job that builds them. One POST, one order id, one webhook when the delegation is live.

QUESTIONS
No. Energy delegation is a resource grant on the TRON protocol. It gives your address the right to consume Energy that our stake pays for. It carries no authority over your balance, your tokens or your permissions. We only ever need your public address.
Around 65,000 if the recipient already holds USDT, and around 131,000 for their first ever USDT — the contract has to create a new balance record. Send in batches to addresses that already hold USDT and your cost per transfer roughly halves.
The delegation lapses on its own. Nothing is deducted, nothing renews, and your address returns to burning TRX for the next transfer until you order again. Standing supply can be arranged if you would rather not think about it.
Yes — the network falls back to burning TRX for whatever the Energy does not cover, so transfers never fail for this reason. They just cost the old price. Size the block with headroom, or let the API top up on the expiry callback.
You can, and above a steady high volume you probably should. Staking locks capital for a 14-day unbonding period and gives you a fixed ceiling of Energy. Renting suits volume that moves week to week, and costs nothing when you are idle.
Yes. Bandwidth is the smaller of the two costs and most accounts have enough from the daily free allowance, so we do not list it on the tariff. Ask at the desk if you are running large batches and hitting the limit.
Send one address and one number. The desk will tell you what the block costs and what you were paying before it.
