TRON Energy Rental
Sending USDT and other TRC-20 tokens on TRON consumes energy. When an address doesn't have enough energy, the network burns TRX to cover it. Rent energy to the address that sends the transfer and the transfer uses the rented energy instead. Four rental periods — 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days and 30 days — paid from your account balance.
- Four rental periods: 1 hour, 1 day, 3 days or 30 days. When the period ends the energy is reclaimed from the address automatically — nothing to do and no further charges.
- Estimate from the transfer: Enter the address the money is going to on the order page and the system estimates how much energy the transfer needs; common amounts are one click away.
- Compare periods side by side: The order page lists the price for all four periods and marks the one with the lowest hourly price.
- Pay from your balance: Orders are paid from your platform balance, converted to USD at the TRX price when you order; the same balance works for the platform's other services.
- Refunds on failure: Orders that clearly fail are refunded to your balance automatically. Orders whose result is not yet known are never charged twice; the system checks them and settles them.
- Orders and expiry times: The order list shows when each order's energy will be reclaimed. Filter by status or source, or look up an order by address or order number.
- Open API: Quotes, orders, order lookups and result callbacks. If a request times out you can look the order up by your own order number, and retrying with the same number never charges twice.
- Price trends and planning: The console overview has a price chart, and the energy planner estimates how much energy to rent and what it costs from your daily transfers and planning days.
- Energy is rented to the TRON address you enter, not to your account. Check the address carefully: once delegated, energy cannot be taken back.
- Energy is reclaimed when the period ends. Unused energy is not refunded.
- Each order is quoted in real time and charged in USD at the current TRX price; the amount on the order page is final.
- Orders that clearly fail are refunded to your balance; orders with an unknown result are checked by the system and never charged twice.
- Used energy recovers gradually within 24 hours under TRON network rules.
- The platform rents energy only. It does not rent bandwidth or top up TRX for you.

Renting for 1 hour vs burning TRX
- 1 transfer to an address that already holds USDT: Burn TRX 6.50 TRX · Rent 1 hour 1.22 TRX · You save 5.28 TRX (−81%)
- 1 transfer to an address with no USDT: Burn TRX 13.10 TRX · Rent 1 hour 2.46 TRX · You save 10.64 TRX (−81%)
- About 10 transfers to addresses that already hold USDT: Burn TRX 65.00 TRX · Rent 1 hour 12.20 TRX · You save 52.80 TRX (−81%)
- About 10 transfers to addresses with no USDT: Burn TRX 131.00 TRX · Rent 1 hour 24.58 TRX · You save 106.42 TRX (−81%)
If the energy is not enough, the shortfall is still covered by burning TRX. Transfers also use bandwidth; the platform rents energy only, not bandwidth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why does sending USDT burn TRX?
USDT-TRC20 is a token contract on TRON, and transfers consume energy. When the address doesn't have enough energy, the network burns TRX at the on-chain energy price to cover it. Renting energy puts energy on the address first so the transfer uses that instead.
How much energy does one USDT transfer need?
About 65,000 when the receiving address already holds USDT, and about 131,000 when it holds none. Enter the receiving address on the order page to get an estimate. If you rent too little, the shortfall is still covered by burning TRX.
Should I choose 1 hour or 1 day?
For a single transfer you are about to send, choose 1 hour. If the same address sends transfers every day, look at 1 day or longer: used energy recovers within 24 hours, so it can be used again each day of the period.
Can I send USDT with no TRX in my wallet?
With enough energy, the transfer burns no TRX for energy, but it also uses bandwidth. If the address's free bandwidth for the day is enough, no TRX is needed; otherwise a small amount of TRX is burned. The platform rents energy only and does not top up TRX.
Am I charged if an order fails?
Orders that clearly fail are refunded to your balance automatically, and the refund shows in your orders and billing. Orders whose result is not yet known are never charged twice; the system checks them and settles them by the actual result.
Is unused energy refunded?
No. Energy is priced by period and reclaimed automatically when it ends; unused energy is not refunded. Send your transfer soon after you order.
Do prices change?
Yes. Energy prices follow the market, and this page updates automatically about every 5 minutes. Orders are priced in real time; the amount on the order page is final.
Can I order through an API?
Yes. The open API covers quotes, orders, order lookups and result callbacks — useful when you keep many addresses topped up with energy. API orders are priced at what the quote endpoint returns.
