Staking

Stake TRX to obtain Energy or Bandwidth, vote for Super Representatives, and delegate resources on TRON accounts

Staking lets a TRON account freeze TRX to obtain Energy or Bandwidth, take part in TRON governance by voting for Super Representatives, and delegate resources to other addresses.

Like every account action, staking operations are performed by your multisig account: each one enters the Queue and must collect the required number of signatures before it executes.

Energy and Bandwidth are renewable resources: TRON regenerates them over time. Use them to pay for your account's transactions without burning TRX, so processing on TRON costs you nothing while enough resource is available.

Availability

Staking is available only when both conditions are met:

  • The active network is a TVM (TRON) network.
  • The account is deployed on that network and its smart contract version supports staking (version 1.2.1 or later).

When staking is available, a TRX Staking group with the Staking, Voting, and Delegation items appears in the main menu. If the account isn't deployed on the selected network, a No deployment in this network placeholder is shown instead.

The account balance shown on the Account and Payouts pages is the spendable amount. TRX that is staked, pending unstake, or waiting to be withdrawn is excluded, so it can't be spent by mistake.

Staking

To open the page, go to Staking in the main menu.

The upper part of the page shows four summary cards, each with its own action:

  • Available: The amount of TRX that can be staked. Use the Stake action to freeze TRX for Energy or Bandwidth.
  • Staked: The amount currently frozen. Use the Unstake action to begin releasing it.
  • Pending unstake: The amount that is unstaking and maturing before it can be withdrawn. Use Cancel unstaking to return it to the staked balance.
  • To be withdrawn: The matured amount ready to return to the account. Use the Withdraw action to collect it.

Below the cards, a table lists staking operations with their status. Click a row to open the operation details.

Stake TRX

Freeze TRX to obtain Energy or Bandwidth.

Go to Staking in the main menu and click Stake on the Available card.

In the Stake popup, choose the resource to obtain — Energy or Bandwidth.

Enter the amount of TRX to stake. The minimum is 1 TRX. A preview shows the approximate amount of the resource you will receive at current network rates.

Click Stake. The operation is added to the Queue, where the required number of signers must approve and execute it.

Unstake TRX

Begin releasing staked TRX back to the account.

Go to Staking in the main menu and click Unstake on the Staked card.

Select the resource to release and enter the amount, at least 1 TRX.

The popup explains that unstaked TRX matures for a fixed number of days before it can be withdrawn.

Click Unstake and approve the operation in the queue.

The amount moves to the Pending unstake card. When it matures, it moves to To be withdrawn.

While an amount is pending unstake, you can use Cancel unstaking to return it to the staked balance without waiting for the maturation period.

Withdraw TRX

Collect matured TRX back to the account balance.

Go to Staking in the main menu and click Withdraw on the To be withdrawn card.

Review the amount and click Withdraw, then approve the operation in the queue.

Once executed, the withdrawn TRX is added back to the spendable account balance.

Voting

The Voting page lets the account use its staking power to vote for TRON Super Representatives and claim voting rewards.

To open it, go to Voting under TRX Staking in the main menu.

The page shows three summary cards:

  • Total voting power and the amount Available to allocate, with the Vote action.
  • Allocated voting power, with the Get Vote action to obtain more voting power by staking.
  • Claimable rewards, with the Claim action.

Below the cards, a table lists Super Representatives with your current votes. You can search and sort the list to find a specific representative.

Vote for Super Representatives

Go to Voting in the main menu and click Vote.

Allocate your available voting power across one or more Super Representatives.

Confirm and approve the operation in the Queue.

Voting power comes from staked TRX. If you don't have enough, use Get Vote to stake more TRX first.

Delegation

The Delegation page lets the account delegate its Energy or Bandwidth to another address and reclaim it later.

To open it, go to Delegation under TRX Staking in the main menu.

The page shows a delegation summary and a table of active delegations, each with the recipient address, amount, resource, and lock state. Use Reclaim in a row to return delegated resources to the account; the action is unavailable while a delegation is still locked.

Delegate resources

Go to Delegation in the main menu and click Delegate.

Enter the recipient address, the amount, and the resource to delegate — Energy or Bandwidth. The minimum is 1 TRX of staked value.

Confirm and approve the operation in the queue.
