TRX Staking Guide
What is TRX Staking?
TRX staking allows you to earn passive income by locking your Tron (TRX) tokens in the network. Currently offering 10% annual returns, staking TRX helps secure the Tron blockchain while generating consistent rewards through Energy delegation and voting for Super Representatives.
Your earnings consist of three parts:
- Staking rewards - for locking your TRX
- Energy sales revenue - from delegating resources
- Voting rewards - for participating in governance
Important security note: Your TRX always remains in your own wallet with your seed phrase. Nothing is sent anywhere! All earnings are immediately your profit.
Why Stake TRX?

- Passive Income: Earn while you sleep with minimal effort
- Network Security: Help secure the Tron blockchain
- Flexible: Unstake anytime (with short unlocking period)
