# Resource Delegation ## Resource Delegation * Energy and bandwidth can be delegated/given to other addresses (users) on the blockchain. * This means you can lend it to other addresses * Delegated resource can be locked for a period of time OR left unlocked * After the lock period or if already unlocked , resources can be claimed back to the original address. \ Since energy can be delegated to other users or even accounts of decentralized applications or dApps which will use energy , there is a potential to earn more than the native yield from voting for Super Representatives. That's where TRON energy markets come into play --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
