Tron Energy Booster
Unlock the hidden profit in your staked TRX. Earn passive income by delegating to the pool while buying energy cheaper through our API.
The Hidden Cost of Self-Staking
When you stake TRX for energy, every unit of energy has an opportunity cost of 50 SUN — the current pool delegation rate. For a single USDT transfer requiring 64,285 energy, that's 3.21 TRX in opportunity cost.
You're losing ~1.2 TRX on every USDT transfer by self-staking instead of delegating + buying.
With TronRental API, the same energy costs only ~2.0 TRX — saving you ~38% per transfer while your TRX earns passive income in the pool.

Comparison at a Glance
Self-stake opportunity cost vs. rental price — cost per transfer is the same regardless of how much TRX you stake.
| TRX Staked | Energy/day | Self-Stake Cost/tx | Rental Cost/tx | Savings/tx | Monthly (5 tx/day) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1M | ~9M | 3.21 TRX | ~2.4 TRX | ~0.8 TRX | ~123 TRX |
| 5M | ~46M | 3.21 TRX | ~2.4 TRX | ~0.8 TRX | ~123 TRX |
| 10M | ~92M | 3.21 TRX | ~2.4 TRX | ~0.8 TRX | ~123 TRX |
| 50M | ~462M | 3.21 TRX | ~2.4 TRX | ~0.8 TRX | ~123 TRX |
How It Works
Delegate TRX
Delegate your TRX to the TronRental pool and start earning 50 SUN per energy unit daily.
Earn Passive Income
Your delegated TRX generates consistent returns at the current pool rate — no effort required.
Buy Energy via API
When you need energy for transfers, buy it through our API at a lower cost than your opportunity cost.
Why Delegate + Buy?
Passive Income
Earn on your delegated TRX instead of leaving energy idle between transfers.
Lower Cost per Transfer
Save ~38% on every USDT transfer compared to self-staking opportunity cost.
Maximum Flexibility
Buy energy only when you need it — no wasted resources during idle periods.
Capital Efficiency
Don't lock more TRX than necessary. Your capital works for you in the pool.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the opportunity cost of self-staking?
When you stake TRX for energy, each unit of energy has an opportunity cost equal to the pool delegation rate (currently 50 SUN). For a 64K energy transfer, that's 3.21 TRX you could have earned by delegating to the pool instead.
How does delegating to the pool work?
You delegate your TRX to TronRental's energy pool. The pool uses your staked resources to fulfill energy orders, and you earn 50 SUN per unit of energy daily as passive income.
What APR can I expect from the pool?
The APR depends on network parameters (energy per TRX ratio) and the pool rate. Currently it's calculated as: energy_per_trx × 50 × 365 / 1,000,000. Check the calculator above for the live rate.
How fast can I buy energy through the API?
Energy is delegated within seconds after the API call. Our system processes orders automatically 24/7 with near-instant delivery.
Is there a minimum TRX amount to delegate?
There is no strict minimum, but delegating larger amounts provides more meaningful returns. The calculator above helps you estimate earnings for any amount.
What if energy prices change?
Energy prices on TronRental are dynamic and competitive. Even if prices fluctuate, the rental cost typically remains significantly below the self-stake opportunity cost because of market competition.
