TRON Staking (Stake 2.0)
3 commands for SR list, staking info, and APY estimation (read-only queries).
TRON Stake 2.0 — Essential Knowledge
Stake 2.0 replaced the legacy Stake 1.0 system. Key differences:
- Freezing and voting are separate operations (Stake 1.0 combined them)
- Resources can be delegated to other addresses
- Unfreezing has a 14-day waiting period before TRX can be withdrawn
- Voting for Super Representatives (SRs) earns TRX rewards (~3-5% APY)
Staking Lifecycle
Freeze TRX → Get Energy or Bandwidth → Vote for SR → Earn Rewards → Unfreeze → Wait 14 days → Withdraw
Commands
1. Super Representative List
node scripts/tron_api.mjs sr-list --limit 30
Returns: SR name, address, total votes, vote percentage, block production rate, APY estimate, commission rate.
2. My Staking Info
node scripts/tron_api.mjs staking-info --address <TRON_ADDRESS>
Returns:
- TRX frozen for Energy (amount, unlock date)
- TRX frozen for Bandwidth (amount, unlock date)
- TRON Power (total votes available)
- Current votes (which SRs, how many)
- Unclaimed rewards
- Pending unfreezes (amount, unlock date)
- Delegated resources (to whom, amount)
3. APY Estimation
node scripts/tron_api.mjs staking-apy --amount <TRX_TO_STAKE>
Returns: estimated annual yield based on current network parameters, SR rewards, and commission rates.

Staking Strategy Guide for Agents
For Frequent Users (Daily TRC-20 Transfers)
- Freeze enough TRX to cover daily Energy needs (~65,000 Energy per USDT transfer)
- Rule of thumb: 1 TRX frozen ≈ 4.5 Energy per day
- For 1 USDT transfer/day: freeze ~14,500 TRX
- Vote for highest-APY SR to earn rewards
For Occasional Users
- Keep TRX liquid, accept burning for occasional transactions
- Or rent Energy from marketplace (cheaper for < 5 tx/month)
For Passive Income
- Freeze all available TRX
- Vote for SRs with lowest commission and highest APY
- Claim rewards every few days (claiming itself costs minimal bandwidth)
- Compound by re-freezing claimed rewards
Common Pitfalls
"Cannot unfreeze": TRX has not been frozen for the minimum 14 days, or you have pending votes that need to be removed first.
"Insufficient TRON Power": You're trying to vote with more TP than you have frozen. Check staking-info for available TP.
"Withdraw failed": The 14-day unfreeze waiting period has not completed. Check pending unfreezes in staking-info.
"Reward is 0": You haven't voted, or the maintenance cycle (6 hours) hasn't completed yet. Vote first, then wait at least 6 hours.
