How to Buy and Sell TRON Energy

Imagine that TRON energy is like a power bank for your smartphone, but in the world of cryptocurrencies. When you need to make a transaction, you have two options: either pay TRX for each operation (like using a paid outlet), or use TRON energy (like a charged power bank). PowerSun allows you to easily "rent" such a power bank from other users. You just pay a small amount for temporary use of energy and can make many transactions without extra fees.

All your TRX remain in your wallet.

Important! All your TRX remain in your wallet. You don't need to transfer them anywhere – you simply rent or sell energy directly through smart contracts. It is safe.

What is TRON Energy?

What is TRON Energy? In the TRON network, every operation (e.g., transferring TRX or using smart contracts) requires a fee. But instead of spending TRX, you can use Energy – a special resource that allows you to perform transactions without fees. You can get energy in two ways:

  1. Freezing (staking) TRX – you receive energy for free, but your TRX remain locked temporarily.
  2. Renting energy – you can buy it from other users without freezing your TRX.

How Does Buying and Selling Energy Work?

If You Need Energy (Buying):

  1. Prepare a TRON Wallet: Make sure you have a TRON wallet, such as TronLink. If not, install the TronLink extension (available for Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera) and create a new wallet or import an existing one.
  2. Connect Your Wallet to the Platform: Go to the website and click the "Connect wallet" button in the top right corner. Choose one of the available wallet options and confirm the connection. Important! All your TRX remain in your wallet!
  3. Create a Purchase Order: On the main page, on the left, there is a form to create a "Buy resources" order. Enter the amount of energy you want to purchase and the rental period. Set the price you are willing to pay per unit of energy.
  4. Place the Order: After filling out all parameters, click "Pay." Your order will appear in the "Orders" section and will be automatically fulfilled if there are available resources on the platform at your specified price.
  5. Track Order Status: In the "My orders" section, you can track the status of your order. Once fulfilled, the rented energy will be credited to your wallet and you can use it for transactions on the TRON network without TRX fees.

If You Have Extra Energy (Selling):

If you have frozen TRX (energy), you can earn by selling it. PowerSun offers two ways to do this:

  • Manual Sale via Offer
  • Automatic Energy Selling

To Get Started:

  1. Prepare a TRON Wallet: Make sure you have a TRON wallet, such as TronLink. If not, install the TronLink extension and create a new wallet or import an existing one.
  2. Connect to the Platform: Go to the website and click the "Connect wallet" button in the top right corner. Choose one of the available options and confirm the connection. Important! All your TRX remain in your wallet!

Manual Sale via Offer:

Go to the "Orders" or "Marketplace" section.

  • Choose a suitable buy order.
  • Click "Sell" next to the desired offer.
  • In the popup window, enter the amount of energy you want to sell and click the "Sell" button.
  • Confirm the transaction through your wallet.

The energy will be sold and TRX will be credited to your balance after the order is fulfilled.

Convenient if you want to control deals manually.

Automatic Energy Selling:

  1. Click the wallet icon in the top right corner and select "Automatic selling" to access the pool setup wizard. A minimum of 1000 TRX is required.
  2. Grant Permissions (One-Time) on the "Permission" Tab: The platform will request permissions to perform certain actions with your wallet, such as resource delegation and withdrawal, TRX freezing, voting for Super Representatives, and claiming voting rewards. This does not give the platform access to your TRX, only enables the smart contract to manage energy on your behalf.
 Granting permissions costs 100 TRX, a fee charged by the TRON network, not the platform.

Note: Granting permissions costs 100 TRX, a fee charged by the TRON network, not the platform.

  1. Configure Parameters: In the "Settings" tab of the pool, you can set the energy type and minimum price. Additional options are available under the "Advanced" tab. Note: A lower profit margin may give your pool higher priority for order fulfilment. Click "Save."
  2. Start Earning Passive Income: After configuration, your account will automatically rent out your energy, generating passive income for you.

Additional Information

Why Does the Platform Request Permissions?

Why Does the Platform Request Permissions?

The platform uses smart contracts for safe and automated energy rental. For these contracts to manage resources (energy and TRX), your wallet must grant permission for specific actions.

What Permissions Are Requested and Why?

  1. Delegation and Withdrawal of Resources Allows temporary transfer of your energy for rental and automatic return after the rental period.
  2. Freezing TRX TRX must be frozen (staked) to generate energy. The platform can automatically freeze/unfreeze TRX as needed.
  3. Voting for Super Representatives The platform can vote on your behalf to generate staking rewards.
  4. Claiming Rewards The smart contract will automatically collect and send rewards to your wallet.
Is It Safe?

Is It Safe?

Yes! Your TRX remain in your wallet. All actions are performed through permissioned smart contracts. You can revoke access at any time.

Granting permissions is a technical requirement for automated energy rental. It does not provide access to your TRX – it only enables the smart contract to manage resources under your terms. You can disable this feature at any time if you change your mind.
