Wait for transaction to be confirmed

TRON transactions will be confirmed roughly 1 minute after being signed and broadcast to the network. The system will then fill your order if energy/bandwidth is available. You will be able to see your order in the history section If you did not set "Instant Buy" in advanced settings (disabled by default) and there is insufficient resources available at the time of processing , your order will be shown on the "Sell Order" section where anyone can manually sell energy/bandwidth to fill your order.

Why do you need to wait for 1 minute for the buy order to be processed?

We implemented high levels of security standards similar to Centralized Exchanges (CEX) like Binance to wait for block confirmation , which is 1 minute on TRON. This means that your transaction is final on blockchain and can never be changed. This prevents double-spend attacks on our system ensuring your funds are secure to be used to pay to energy providers If a dApp doesnt wait for the transaction to confirm , a known exploit called a "double-spend" attack can lead to draining the dApps wallet. For an energy market like us, it means energy sellers might not get paid and buyers will end up not getting the resources.
