Staking TRX

What is staking?

Staking on a DPoS blockchain involves token holders locking/freezing up their tokens on the blockchain , typically to get a yield and even voting rights. In DPoS blockchains , users delegate votes to validator nodes , in TRON we call them Super Representative (SR) Candidates.

TRON users can choose to stake TRX and receive 1 of 2 types of resources (energy or bandwidth) plus "TRON Power" (voting power/rights).

Users lock up their TRX and receive voting power to elect SRs and earn rewards. Typically , it is distributed as a share of the block rewards earned by the SRs, enabling users to earn passive income while ensuring the network remains secure and efficient.

You can stake multiple times and add to your existing amounts for either resource types.

Stake TRX to get either choice:

Energy + Tronpower (voting rights)

Bandwidth + Tronpower (voting rights)

Unstaking

There are two parts to unstaking TRX on TRON 1) Unstake your TRX tokens. It take 14 days to "unfreeze"

2)After the 14 days , you can withdraw into your available balance for use or transfer. You can also decide to cancel the unstake during the 14 day period which will allow you to continue receiving energy/bandwidth and voting rights.
