How it works
Three steps, usually under a minute.
- Step 1
Enter your wallet address
Just the public TRON address you send from. No keys, no seed phrase, no wallet connection — energy is delegated to the address, not “into the wallet”.
- Step 2
Choose volume and term
A transfer to an address that already holds USDT needs ~65,000 energy; if the recipient holds no USDT ~131,000. Term: 15 minutes, an hour or a day — energy is available for the whole term or until used up.
- Step 3
Send your transfer
The delegation arrives in seconds and is visible on TronScan — the Resources tab and a DelegateResource transaction. The network spends energy instead of TRX. After the term the energy returns to the pool; nobody touches your funds.
What a USDT transfer costs
Energy price for one transfer by rental term — and what the network burns without it. Live prices, updated with the pool price.
| Term | Recipient holds USDT, 65,000 Energy | Recipient holds no USDT, 131,000 Energy |
|---|---|---|
| 15 minutes | 2.29 TRX | 4.20 TRX |
| 1 hour | 2.29 TRX | 4.20 TRX |
| 1 day | 5.60 TRX | 10.88 TRX |
| No rental — TRX burned | ~6.85 TRX | ~13.35 TRX |
The transfer amount does not affect the energy used: 10 USDT and 10,000 USDT cost the same. Besides energy a transfer uses ~350 bandwidth — the network gives 600 a day for free; beyond that bandwidth can be rented too.
Why it costs more without rental
A USDT transfer uses energy. There are three ways to get it.
Burn TRX
~6.85 TRX
per transfer
The default: the network charges TRX itself. The most expensive way; burned TRX never comes back.
Best for: Rare one-off transfers
Stake TRX
7,000–17,000 TRX
staked for 1 transfer a day
Staked TRX gives energy that recovers in 24 hours. Unstaking takes 14 days.
Best for: Large TRX holders
Rent energy
2.29 TRX
per transfer, 1 hour
The service lends energy to your address for a while. Unused energy is not refunded after the term.
Best for: Most people
Address only — no keys, no seed phrase
Delegation is verifiable on TronScan
Works with any non-custodial wallet
Energy does not work on exchange addresses
Connect once — energy arrives before every transfer
- 1Turn the address on once — in your account under “Automations”, or via the API
- 2Energy arrives on its own before every outgoing USDT transfer
- 3You pay only for transfers you actually make — each delivery is charged to your balance
- 3.30 TRX per transfer to a recipient who holds USDT; double rate if the recipient holds no USDT.
- Connecting costs one rate. Keep at least two rates on your balance.
- If there were no transfers in 24 hours, a maintenance fee is charged (double rate).
- Limit — about 1 transfer every 6 seconds. Not suitable for parallel transfers.
- Unlimited addresses; pause or remove any time.

Security
It is like renting a parking spot, not handing over your house keys.
- We only need your public address. No seed phrase, no private key, no transaction signing. If someone asks for them, it is a scam.
- Energy is delegated with a standard TRON function (DelegateResource). It is not a dApp connection and gives no wallet access.
- The service cannot move your USDT or TRX.
Check it yourself on TronScan
- Open TronScan and enter your address
- The Resources tab shows where energy comes from: own or delegated
- The Transactions tab has a DelegateResource record
- Check the delegator address and the term
For developers and business
API with keys
Buy energy and bandwidth, activate addresses, manage automations. Key scopes and a daily spend limit — a leaked key cannot spend more than the limit.
DocumentationWebhooks
Signed notifications about filled orders, top-ups and paused rules — no API polling. Delivery retries and a log.
How to connectOpenAPI and MCP
A machine-readable contract to generate clients, and an MCP server an AI agent can use to buy energy with the same key.
OpenAPIFAQ
About 65,000 Energy if the recipient already holds USDT, and about 131,000 if their address holds no USDT. The amount you send does not affect it.
A resource for executing smart contracts. A USDT TRC-20 transfer is a contract call, so it needs Energy. There is no free daily allowance. If you lack energy, the network burns your TRX.
15 minutes, 1 hour or 1 day. For longer — auto-renewal extends the rental every day; for regular transfers there is Tron Charger.
Usually within 3–10 seconds after the payment is confirmed.
No. We only need your public address. Energy is delegated with a standard protocol function. You can verify it on TronScan in the Resources tab and by the DelegateResource transaction.
Yes, if you rent Energy (and Bandwidth if needed) in advance. But some wallets require a minimum TRX balance.
No, the network does not return burned TRX. Buy energy before the transfer.
Tron Charger delivers energy before each transfer and you pay per transfer; it suits regular but not parallel transfers. Auto top-up keeps energy above a threshold; it suits hot wallets and high frequency.
Yes. Create a key in your account (section “API”) — it can buy energy and bandwidth, activate addresses, manage automations and webhooks. Public docs: sunlend.io/docs/energy-api.md, OpenAPI: sunlend.io/docs/openapi.json. There is also an MCP server for AI agents.
