Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about TRON energy rental and using Tronact.
What is TRON Energy?
What is TRON energy and why do I need it?
TRON energy is a computational resource on the TRON blockchain required to execute smart contract operations, including TRC-20 token transfers like USDT. Without energy, your wallet must burn TRX to pay for transaction fees. By renting energy from Tronact, you avoid burning TRX and reduce your per-transaction cost by up to 80%.
What is the difference between TRON energy and bandwidth?
Both are TRON network resources. Bandwidth is consumed by simple TRX transfers, while Energy is required for smart contract calls — including all TRC-20 token transfers. Sending USDT on TRON uses energy. Tronact provides energy delegation, which covers your TRC-20 transactions.
How much energy does a USDT transfer require?
A standard USDT (TRC-20) transfer requires approximately 32,000 energy units. This translates to about 14 TRX in fees if you burn TRX, or just 2.8 TRX or less with Tronact — an 80% reduction.
Using Tronact
How quickly is energy delivered to my wallet?
Energy is delegated to your wallet in under 10 seconds after payment confirmation. The delegation is an on-chain transaction and typically propagates within 1-2 TRON block confirmations.
Is Tronact non-custodial?
Yes, completely. Tronact never holds your funds, private keys, or controls your wallet. Energy delegation is an on-chain operation where we delegate from our staked TRX to your address. Your wallet and assets remain fully under your control at all times.
How long does delegated energy last?
Energy delegation periods vary by plan. Standard plans provide 24-hour delegation windows. Business and custom plans can have extended periods. Unused energy expires when the delegation period ends — we recommend purchasing based on your expected transaction volume.
Can I use the energy immediately after purchase?
Yes. Energy becomes available in your wallet within seconds of successful payment. You can immediately start executing TRC-20 transactions using your delegated energy.
Pricing & Payments
How much does TRON energy cost with Tronact?
Our rates start at 1.0 TRX per USDT transaction for the Starter plan, up to 1.4 TRX for the Growth plan, and 1.2 TRX for Business volume. All plans represent significant savings vs the standard ~14 TRX burn rate.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept TRX (TRON native token) as the primary payment method. Enterprise plans may have additional payment options. Contact our sales team for custom arrangements.
Are there any hidden fees or contracts?
No hidden fees, no contracts, no subscriptions. You pay only for the energy packages you purchase. There are no recurring charges, setup fees, or cancellation penalties.
Technical & API
Do you offer an API for automated energy purchasing?
Yes. Tronact provides a complete REST API that allows you to automate energy purchases, check available balances, and monitor delegation status. Full documentation is available on our API page with code examples in Python, Node.js, and cURL.
What wallets are compatible with Tronact?
Any TRON wallet address can receive delegated energy from Tronact — including TronLink, Trust Wallet, hardware wallets, and custom smart contract addresses. You just need to provide your TRON wallet address during purchase.
Is Tronact compatible with exchanges and automated systems?
Yes. Many cryptocurrency exchanges and automated payment processors use Tronact via our API to reduce their TRC-20 transaction costs at scale. Our API is designed for high-volume, automated use cases.
