TRX: the native coin of TRON
Updated 56 seconds ago
TRON is a network for crypto transfers and applications. Its native coin, TRX, helps pay for transactions and elect the representatives that produce blocks.
Locking TRX through Stake 2.0 provides Bandwidth for transaction data or Energy for smart contract execution, together with voting power. Voting earns a share of network rewards, while resources help cover transaction costs. When resources fall short, TRX is burned under the network’s charging rules.

Using TRX for network resources
A USDT transfer can use resources or burn TRX. Read the receipt to see which payment occurred.
TRX: exchange products, resources and voting
Compare exchange products for TRX by their rate, deposit amount and redemption process. Energy and Bandwidth are resources obtained through staking directly on the TRON network.
How direct Stake 2.0 works
Staking TRX on the network provides Energy or Bandwidth and TRON Power voting rights. Resources pay for transactions, while votes go to the Super Representatives that produce blocks. Rewards depend on voting and the selected representative’s rules. Exchange Earn uses a platform account and the terms of the specific product.
How USDT transfers use Energy and BandwidthWhen TRX becomes available again
Direct Stake 2.0 on mainnet currently has a 14-day waiting period after an unstaking request, followed by a separate withdrawal transaction. Exchange products have their own redemption times, shown in their terms. The redemption wait and the period that earns rewards are separate durations.
