Regular withdrawal with a changing amount: A withdrawal where you additionally specify the minimum amount that should be left on your wallet after the withdrawal.

When sending funds, you can choose from possible fee options: low, medium, high, or custom. The higher the fee, the faster the transaction processing in the blockchain.

Callback
This is a POST-request sent to a user's callback URL to notify about new transactions (deposits or payouts) in the blockchain.
By default, the callback is sent after a transaction receives the required number of confirmation blocks in the blockchain. This number is determined in the currency settings in the B2BINPAY Back Office.
It's also possible to receive additional callbacks by specifying a required number when creating a deposit or payout. In this case, two callbacks are sent:
Upon receiving the number of confirmations specified for a particular deposit or payout.

Staking
Staking is a process of locking up crypto assets for a certain period of time to support the operation of the blockchain. In exchange for staking your crypto, you earn more crypto and/or save on commissions.
At the moment, B2BINPAY supports TRX staking. You can stake TRX in exchange for resources: bandwidth or energy. The resources allow you to save on the blockchain fee. Bandwidth is spent on TRX transfers and TRC-10 tokens, as well as partially on interacting with smart contracts. Energy is spent on interacting with smart contracts and transferring TRC-20 tokens. The resources are replenished throughout the day.
Along with the resources, you also receive 1 vote for each TRX staked. You can distribute the votes among SRs and gain additional profit in return: the process is split into rounds, during which SRs generate profit that they can further distribute as rewards among their voters. Mind that reward distribution is up to the SR and can't be guaranteed by B2BINPAY. Once in 24 hours the accumulated reward can be claimed and withdrawn to your TRX wallet, with a 10% commission is deducted from the reward. You can re-distribute your votes at any time, this will take effect from the next round. The resources and votes are available immediately after staking.
You can unstake your funds anytime, but remember that the unstaking process takes 14 days in the blockchain. So you'll be able to withdraw TRX to your wallet after 14 days, until then they remain locked. You can cancel the unstaking request anytime during this period. When unstaking, all distributed votes are automatically canceled, the resources are no longer available.
SR
In TRX staking, this is a Super Representative to whom you may give your votes. They serve as blockchain "partners", supporting its operation and generating profit, which they can further distribute as rewards among their voters.
When deciding on which SR to vote for, you can rely on the following key performance indicators displayed by B2BINPAY for each SR:
Current votes: The total number of votes cast for the SR.
Reward distribution: The proportion of rewards distributed to voters to all rewards gained by the SR.
Productivity: The percentage of successfully validated blocks.
Expected APR: The expected annual percentage rate. The APR may change at any time and the estimated profit may differ from the actual profit received.
Mind that reward distribution is up to the SR and can't be guaranteed by B2BINPAY.
The process is divided into rounds. You can gain profit for each round. The accumulated reward can be claimed and withdrawn to your TRX wallet once in 24 hours, with a 10% commission is deducted from the reward. You can re-distribute your votes to SRs at any time, this will take effect from the next round.
The list of 27 SRs available for voting is provided by the Tron blockchain and is valid for a certain period of time. After that, a redistribution of positions in the list may occur. Keep in mind that if an SR is no longer ranked in the top 27, they can no longer generate and distribute rewards. The votes given to such SRs aren't automatically canceled, if you want to recall your votes, you have to do it manually.
