Articles on Tron energy and bandwidth
Articles on Tron energy and bandwidth rental: energy from 15 minutes to 3 days, bandwidth from 5 minutes to 7 days, paid from your gasrent balance.
Each article below is one subject: how the price is chosen, what a rental includes, or what the crawl is seeing. Bandwidth rental itself is on Rent TRON bandwidth.
How gasrent picks witnesses and decides when to change your votes
The rules behind the Witness yield table: how Est. yield is ranked, why the top three get your votes, when we move them at once, and when a small gain is not worth a transaction.
What gasrent does automatically for your wallet, and why
Once the wallet gives gasrent a voting permission, we vote its TRON Power for you, move the votes when it pays, and show the reward. This is what we do, what we cannot do, and how to stop it.
How Tron voting rewards work, and why staked TRX should vote
Staked TRX gives voting power. Voting for witnesses pays a reward from the network. This explains the pool, the share a witness keeps, why yields differ, and how to withdraw.
Two ways to earn on staked TRX: lend energy and vote
Staked TRX can earn in two separate ways at the same time. Renters pay you for energy you delegate, and the network pays you for votes. Here is how each one works, what is automatic, and what is not.
Seven steps to earn by lending Tron energy
Stake TRX for energy, leave 100 TRX liquid, connect the wallet, and approve one permission that can delegate energy, vote for witnesses, and withdraw voting rewards to your own wallet only.
How to pay for a Tron energy rental in TRX
Put TRX on your balance first. The energy order spends that balance. It does not ask you to pay at the moment you rent. One USDT transfer is still a 65,000 or 131,000 order. The top-up is a separate TRX transfer, of the exact amount you were shown, to the address you were shown, within one hour.
Check the Tron energy for a USDT transfer before you sign
Look up the sender and the recipient before you broadcast. If the recipient already holds USDT, have 65,000 energy ready. If their balance is zero, have 131,000. Subtract whatever the sender already has, rent the gap, and only then send. Last month's memory is how this fee surprises you.
What if a Tron energy seller only sells fixed packs?
Some sellers will not delegate 65,000. They delegate a pack. If you allow it, a Tron energy rental can come back larger than you asked, and it will not come back smaller. The larger pack is kept only when it costs less than burning the energy you actually wanted.
How many USDT transfers fit in one Tron energy order?
65,000 covers one USDT transfer to someone who already holds USDT. 131,000 covers one transfer to someone whose balance is zero, or two transfers to people who already hold it. 4,000,000, the largest order, covers 62 of the first kind or 30 of the second.
Rent Tron energy from an API when you pay people in USDT
Check the transfer, then order 65,000 or 131,000 energy onto the wallet that will sign, for 15 minutes or an hour. The order does not include a price. The Tron energy rental API charges the lowest offer and takes it from TRX you have already deposited.
Tron energy and bandwidth are not the same fee
Energy vs bandwidth on Tron: what each pays for, how much a USDT transfer needs, and how to rent energy and bandwidth on gasrent instead of burning TRX.
How is a Tron energy rental price chosen?
You name an amount and a duration. The price is the lowest offer that can fill it right then. You do not send a price of your own, and you do not pick a seller. For one USDT transfer the amount is 65,000 or 131,000.
When do you have to activate a Tron address?
Activate a Tron address the first time it exists on the network. After that there is nothing left to create, and the activation price is zero. An energy rental can include the creation.
Why a USDT transfer to a new Tron address costs more energy
A recipient who already holds USDT is a 65,000 rental. A recipient whose USDT balance is zero is a 131,000 rental. The expensive one has to create a line in the USDT contract. The cheap one only updates a line that is already there. How much USDT you send does not enter into it.
How long should a Tron energy rental last?
For one USDT transfer, rent 15 minutes or 1 hour. Rent 1 day or 3 days only when that same address will send again while the energy is still there. A longer rental usually costs more, but not always. Unspent energy is gone. The size stays 65,000 or 131,000 per transfer.
Burn TRX, stake TRX, or rent Tron energy?
Burn TRX when the transfer is rare and you do not want a second step. Stake TRX when you already hold it and the same address sends USDT every day. Rent Tron energy when the volume comes and goes, or when you do not want the coins locked.
How much energy does a USDT TRC-20 transfer on Tron use?
Rent 65,000 energy when the person you are paying already holds USDT. Rent 131,000 when their USDT balance is zero. A USDT TRC-20 transfer spends a little less than that. The size of the payment does not matter: 2 USDT and 20,000 USDT cost the same energy.
