Everyone is looking for a magical blockchain where you don't have to pay for transactions. There are several options where the commissions are small. But the guys from Tron showed that magic is possible. Earlier we showed how Tron itself works and its advantages. and now we will show how to send for free.
How it works?
There is no magic button to turn off commissions, but the Tron developers have made useful tools with which you can implement as zero commission. Remember that you need Bandwidth to work with the Tron and the network itself gives 1500 points per day, so you can send the native coin for free. One transaction takes 268 Bandwidth on average. Sending tokens is another matter - here you will need Energy, which is used both for interacting with smart contracts and for sending the tokens themselves. When freezing the native coin Tron, you can get this energy - now the current rate: for 1000 TRX you will get 29645.65 Energy. The most important thing is that Energy is restored every day, therefore transactions become free.
How to freeze Tron for Energy?
Now we will show you the magic from the inside. The demonstration will be done using the Tronlink wallet .
Mobile version. It is available for both iOS and Android:
- After wallet installation and saving the seed phrase in a safe place, send to your address native TRX coin.
- An average interaction with a smart contract costs about 350,000 Energy. We recommend you to use the calculator to determine how much TRX you currently need to freeze. Since you are interested in using all services of Exon Center, we recommend you to send to your wallet 12,000 TRX.
- Next, go to the Stake section.
- Select Stake and indicate that you want to freeze to get Energy.
- Next, specify the amount of TRX that you want to freeze and click the Stake button below.
- You sign the transaction and that's it - you have already counted Energy right away and you can send tokens for free and interact with smart contracts.
PC version:
- In order to freeze TRX you need to open the extension and click "Stake"
- Next, a page will open on TronScan with your wallet details. On the page that opens, click "Obtain"
- In the window that opens, select Obtain "TRON Power and Energy", the amount of TRX you want to freeze (1000 TRX = 29645.65 Energy). On average, 350,000 energy is spent per transaction in DeFi. Your wallet is automatically entered in the address bar, but you can specify any other and energy will come to it. Next, you agree that your TRX will be locked for 72 hours and click "Stake".
- After you freeze TRX, the energy will be displayed in the wallet and an entry will appear on the TronScan page. In the same place on the page, after 72 hours it will be possible to pick up your TRX. Depending on how much TRX you take, energy will also be reduced.
The second option is to rent energy. Consider the example of the Token Goodies trading platform. We go to the site: Token Goodies - TRON ENERGY EXCHANGE - Trade Energy . You confirm the wallet connection and see how much TRX you have, how much Energy, how much TRX is frozen for energy, how much Bandwidth and how much TRX is frozen for Bandwidth. On Token Goodies, you can also freeze your TRX as in the first option, but we are interested in renting. You can rent a minimum of 100,000 Energy for 3 days. Click on "Buy" and fill in the fields in the window that opens:
- The address of the wallet to which we want to receive energy, your current address is automatically entered
- The amount of energy that we want to rent is automatically entered 1,000,000,000 energy.
- Price/day set aside 30
Next, information will be shown on how much TRX you need to pay, how much TRX you save and the percentage discount. 1,000,000,000 energy for 3 days will cost 90 TRX. After you confirm the placing of the order, you can immediately receive energy or you will have to wait a bit until the order is fulfilled. Usually the energy is credited instantly. For a more detailed description of each item, hover over the question.
Scroll down the page and go to "My Freeze List". This tab will display all the wallets for which energy was taken from TRX freezing and rented. You can also unfreeze your TRX on this page.
The first method with freezing TRX is suitable for those who have enough money to stake. The second method is suitable for more active users who interact with a number of DeFi projects and need a large amount of energy from a million or more. If you plan to conduct 1-2 transactions per month and do not have a lot of funds, then it is easier for you to pay a one-time commission in the amount of 56-120 TRX than to rent energy or freeze 12,000 TRX ~ $ 928 = 350,000 Energy (this is one transaction per day ). Based on your needs and choose the best option.
How to unfreeze Tron?
The advantage of freezing is obvious - you send transactions for free and simultaneously hold Tron. If you urgently need funds, then how to unfreeze the coins? This process is very simple, but it can be implemented 72 hours after freezing. Then you can return the assets at any time.
We use the same wallet Tronlink.
- Go to the Stake section.
- Select Unstake and indicate that we want to unfreeze to get Energy.
- Next, specify the amount of TRX that we want to unfreeze and click the Unstake button below.
- You sign the transaction and that's it.
