Home User guide Staking TRX staking

TRX staking

TRX staking is a process of freezing funds for a certain period of time to get resources and additional profit.

Key points

  • When staking, you can “exchange” your funds for resources, such as bandwidth or energy, which allow you to save on blockchain fees. 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 available immediately after staking and are replenished throughout the day.

  • When staked, the funds remain on your wallet but are locked and can’t be used for financial operations.

  • You can unstake funds at any time after staking, but keep in mind that the unstaking process takes 14 days in the blockchain. Until then your funds remain locked.

  • For each staked TRX, you receive one vote. You can give your votes to one or more SRs to gain rewards for each voting 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 The accumulated reward can be claimed and withdrawn to your TRX wallet once in 24 hours, with a 10% commission is deducted from the reward.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-assign your votes at any time.

  • Staking is only available for wallet Owners.
