Energy rental

What is energy?

A TRON resource needed to send USDT. Without it, TRX in your wallet is burned as the fee. Read more

How much does it cost?

65,000 energy is 2.4 TRX and 131,000 energy is 4.8 TRX. Same price 24 hours a day.

65,000 or 131,000?

65,000 if the recipient holds USDT, 131,000 if not. Paste the recipient on the Tools page and we’ll tell you.

How long does it take?

Usually seconds, always within a minute. Send your USDT within 1 hour after it arrives.

Do I need to sign up or connect my wallet?

No. Just send TRX to the address. We never ask for any approval or signature.

Which wallets work?

Any self-custody TRON wallet: TronLink, TokenPocket, Trust Wallet, imToken and more.

Payment

Which wallet should I pay from?

The same wallet you’ll send USDT from. Energy goes to the address that sent the TRX.

Can I pay straight from an exchange?

No. An exchange withdrawal comes from the exchange’s address, so the energy would go to the exchange. Always pay from your own wallet.

How do I check the energy arrived?

Paste your address into “My wallet” on the Tools page to see your available energy.

The energy didn’t arrive.

Check that you paid from the wallet you’ll send USDT from, and that you sent exactly 2.4 or 4.8 TRX.

Sending USDT

Does a bigger transfer cost more?

No. The fee is per transfer, not per amount. Sending 1 USDT or 10,000 USDT costs the same.

My transfer failed but TRX was taken.

TRON charges for resources used even when a transfer fails. Your USDT is still there. Read more

I have no TRX at all.

To rent energy you need 2.4 TRX plus about 1 TRX spare. How to get TRX

My new wallet can’t do anything.

A new wallet is activated once TRX arrives. How to activate

Safety

An unknown address sent me a tiny amount.

That’s address poisoning. Never copy addresses from your history. Read more

An energy site wants me to connect and approve.

Very likely a scam. Renting energy never needs approval. Read more
